1. MILW diner-lounge 173 went to the Oregon Pacific & Eastern Railroad after being retired in 1971 and was purchased from OP&E in 1975 by Los Angeles County (along with sister car MILW 172, five IC coaches and dome-sleeper-observation "Silver Planet" from WP's contribution to the California Zephyr). 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. The entire set was sold to the Copper Canyon Express Company in Mexico, which operated them in early 1987 between Chihuahua and Los Mochis. 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.

8. December 10, 1951 -- "Pullman Observation Samuel Vaughn Merrick now operating as Car 1046 on 21st COLA from Los Angeles Dec 6th. This car in very good condition but equipped with Penn RR magazine binders. Since car will be in Train No. 103 and 104 for some time should have "City of Los Angeles" binders.
