Caritas was built in 1948 by Pullman as a 4-Bedroom, 14-Roomette Sleeping Car for the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway, called the Frisco for short. The car was originally named Pierre LaClede after the founder of St. Louis.

The car was originally assigned to the Texas Special, which ran between St. Louis, Missouri and San Antonio, Texas, over the Frisco and the Missouri-Kansas-Texas. The Frisco discontinued its portion of the Texas Special (the northern portion) in 1959. In 1964, this car was sold to the Canadian National and named Churchill Falls.
