Union Pacific 44-Seat Coach #5468, Katy Flyer, was built by American Car & Foundry in 1954. It has remained in Union Pacific service ever since. It was given the name Columbine in 1989 after the Union Pacific train that ran between Omaha, Nebraska and Denver, Colorado from 1929 to 1950, then renamed City of San Francisco in 1992 after the jointly operated Union Pacific/Southern Pacific/Chicago & North Western streamliner that ran between Chicago and Oakland, California from June 1936 to April 1971. In 1993 it was renamed Katy Flyer, after the Missouri-Kansas-Texas train that ran between St. Louis, Missouri and Galveston, Texas from 1896 to 1961.
