Displayed at the 100th Anniversary of Union Station in Portland, Oregon, on May 11, 1996, BKSX Coach #4001 was built by the Budd Company in 1950 as Southern Pacific 44-Seat Coach #2367 for the Sunset Limited. In 1951 it was renumbered to Texas & New Orleans #440, and in 1961 it was renumbered to SP #2228. It later became Amtrak #4415. In 1980, Amtrak rebuilt it as a 40-seat ADA Coach with Head-End Power and it became Amtrak #4001. It was retired by Amtrak in 1995. At this point it was being operated as a RailVentures/Montana Daylight car.
