Chicago & North Western Inspection Car #420, Fox River, was built by Pullman-Standard in 1954 as Canadian National Sleeper-Lounge Car #1087, Cape Breton. It was later transferred to VIA Rail and remained in service in Canada until 1983, when it was sold to Rail Travel Associates. It was sold to Milwaukee Rail Car in 1984, and was rebuilt into C&NW Inspection Car Fox River in 1985.
Union Pacific acquired the car when it absorbed the C&NW in 1995. Union Pacific had the car remodeled in 1997 and painted in UP colors and still uses it today.
