Post subject:  Meridian Mississippi Amtrak equipment Identification
Recently on my venture around the vast internet I came across a photo of what almost looked like a photoshoot for some sort of movie or some tourist attraction ride somewhere which had Amtrak F40PH 305 and 2 other passenger cars painted up in Amtrak phase 3 paint scheme with one laying on the grass on it's side. after a quick search I came to find that the equipment was apart of a safety training set for first responders slowly deteriorating out in Meridian Mississippi and also found out that the coach behind the F40 was former PRR 7144 "Nathan Hale" parlor car built in November 1951 However I was unable to identify the second coach laying on its side in the grass which appears to have had its trucks removed before being tipped over. Does anyone know what the identification of this car is?

Link to an album for the F40 and 2 passenger cars: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/archiv ... ?id=123355



Edit: after further inspection on google maps there is not two but THREE passenger cars on the premises and a possible MHC there as well here is another link on google maps:

The other two, I believe, are both ex-UP 10-6 "Pacific" Series sleepers (Budd, 1950). One is "Pacific Beach", the other is "Pacific Meadow", Amtrak numbers 2601 and 2619.
