I rode the City of Miami with one of these cars in 1957. It was lettered
PULLMAN with a small NP at each end. They were Sleeper/Domes off the North
Coast Limited and were not altered with the exception of the paint job. I
think they were repainted at IC's Markham Yard. The IC bore the cost of
repainting both to their colors and back to the NP's two-tone green. If I
recall correctly the time frame was October to April.
