Correct. Actually, the "Coulee" series were rebuilt "River" series obs from
the original 1947 streamlined set (they were in service on the Western Star).
The "River" did not have enough sleeping compartments, so they cut down on
the size of the lounge and added more sleeping space, as you have noted.
