Bob or anyone
   
  What measures did Budd take to strengthen their pre-war cars both before and 
after the 1946 Naperville wreck?
  I do know that in a head-on collision involving Santa Fe' chief in 1955, a 
prewar Budd dormitory-baggage car was totally demolished to where its existence 
in the consist was briefly questioned.

  No, I'm not concerned with the past news as such - Hol's Bulletins 
and other news sites on the web have a lot of information on the web 
including the photos from the Cushman site.   What I was more 
interested in though, was if there were any references to it in 
current newspapers.
For those unfamiliar with it:

In terms of the results, the primary one really was somewhat lost - 
and that was a vindication of the Pullman issue with the pre-war Budd 
design being dangerous to their employee (as being a reason they 
didn't want to staff pre-war Budd sleepers).    The results of the 
crash on Silver Inn and the what Budd had already taken to doing on 
the roof and on the sides is indicative of a strength problem.

One other result was the creation of The Round-Up from the 
Mississippi - the second to last car on the train hit, it was reborn 
and is still around.  The 3rd-6th to last cars were all Budd pre-war 
cars, all three suffering tremendous damage - two - SILVER GLEAM and 
CLOUD being rebuilt, one SILVER INN being a complete write off , 
being bent into a U-shape.
