AMTK 606 (Ex USAX 89606)         
Amtrak 606 was built by the St. Louis Car Co. in 1953 as U.S. Army kitchen car 89606. It was one of 89 such cars built under Lot. 1773 (89600-89688). Fifty of these cars were transferred to Amtrak in 1973, where most of them became 1300- and 1350-series baggage cars. This car was assigned Amtrak number 8902, one of seven cars initially assigned numbers 8900-8906 for use as kitchen cars; but all of these cars retained the last three digits of the Amy numbers and were used for storage at various locations.
