On the MTC the car had sleeping accommodations for some paying passengers as well as the entire National Guard military contingent traveling with the train for protection of its $1,000,000 in gold. This car made the trip from Montana to New York City and return in 1964. Shortly thereafter it returned to New York to be part of the Montana exhibit at the World's Fair through the end in fall 1965.
