The car was built in 1909 as part of 1500 car series 62000 to 63499. It was built by American Car and Foundry in St Charles, Missouri. The car was rebuilt in 1926 with Murphy steel ends. It was retired and sold to the US Navy in 1944, probably to replace equipment destroyed in the Concord Naval Weapons Station explosion that occurred at Port Chicago, California on July 17, 1944.
