In May 1964, Colonial Crafts was reclassified as a parlor car; the bedrooms were closed and the car was renumbered #7149. In 1970 the car was retired to a museum in western Pennsylvania. The car’s current owners, Rod & Ellen Fishburn bought the car in 1985 and restored it to its original appearance and operating condition.
