The 10 SSW cars originally were Pullman green, started with black roof and changed to aluminum roof. In 1949-1950 changeover to modified "Daylight", they became red/orange with aluminum roof and yellow handrails (a SSW feature not seen on SP cars and locomotives). They were sold to the SP in about 1958-59 and numbered somewhat randomly, with 8 remaining in CA. Two were transferred to T&NO in 1960 (TNO 463/464) and used on what was left of the Argonaut. To the best of my knowledge, once on the SP system some of the cars were repainted two-tone gray and some, red/silver. The TNO cars were one of each. <br /> <br />The Dora Doodlebug in Mt Dora FL uses an ex-SBD car as a station/ticket office.
