The cars were rebuilt in 1976 and assigned to a single Los Angeles-San Diego round trip as the El Camino starting on February 14, 1978 and ran in the service for about six months. They were then stored but held on the roster in 1980. Under LA County ownership, number 173 carried the name Montebello.

Later in 1987, the set was sold to the Chihuahua-Pacific Railway. The former Milw 173 was renumbered and renamed 107-Canon De Urique, although it's unclear under whose ownership in Mexico this occurred.
