Originally built as Car #901823 and named Regal Lane, the car was renumbered by the Atchison, Topeka,
and Santa Fe Railway to ATSF #65 on 05 December 1973. The car was purchased by the Santa Fe to run in its
premier passenger train, the Super Chief. The car was later renumbered to BNA #65 by the
Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway on 12 January 1996, and later renamed Raton Pass by the BNSF in
July 1998. The car's accommodations include 10 individual bedrooms. It can be configured in a suite
arrangement in which the car will be able to hold five couples and two individuals, or seven people.
