History

Built in 1949 by the Budd Company, first a sleeper with ten roomettes and six double bedrooms for the Norfolk & Western Railroad. It was delivered in 1950. There were nicknames for the rolling stock. The railroad would name these railcars after counties and colleges. This sleeper was nicknamed the “Campbell County”. The Budd Company rebuilt this sleeper into an 84-seat coach, and the Pennsylvania Railroad bought the coach in 1964 and numbered it 1481. It was sold to the Maryland Department of Transportation in 1979 and renumbered 1402; then, in 1991, it was sold to MARC and renumbered 102. Finally, in 2002, it was donated to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum and is on display out in the parking lot and renamed to “Copper Union”.
