Rupert:
Chair car 274 was overhauled and updated somewhat in 1897 for service between Chicago and the Twin Cities, at which time it was renumbered 373 and given the name Pepin. A largely new set of equipment was put on the run at that time, and among the cars built
by Pullman for it were chair cars 368-Alma and 369-Maiden Rock, which lost their names when they were renumbered in 1904 to 4150-4151 and subsequently converted into office cars 2nd 73 and 68, respectively. A photo of the Maiden Rock appears at the top of
page 46 in BB 17 on office cars. Another of the cars built by Pullman in 1897 for that re-equipping of the Twin Cities trains was baggage-club car 570-Minneapolis, which progressively became baggage-club 500 in 1904, baggage-coach 3501 in 1911 and office car
2nd 95 in 1926. A photo of it as the Minneapolis is on page 48 of BB 17.

Subject: [CBQ] Lake Pepin
In Bill Glick’s Passenger Car Roster book, coach 5629 is shown as having been built by Pullman in April 1892, as chair car 274 and later became chair car 4085, presumably
in the 1904 renumbering. In between, it was renumbered to 373 and shown in the book as “Pepin Lake”.
Was it assigned to a specific train, as it carried a name. Does anyone know anything about this naming?
Thanks
