Most of these cars came to the ACR painted in CP maroon-red with black roofs and some silver with maroon or red letter boards over the windows to match CP’s stainless steel cars. At first cars were repainted into the ACR’s maroon and grey scheme with the legend “AGAWA-CANYON-TOUR” on the side below the windows, but were eventually all painted silver with red name boards and belt stripes, starting in 1974. At first the silver cars were still lettered with the Agawa Canyon Tour legend but soon cars were painted with a black bear and its paw prints. Some (but not all) of the cars with the Agawa Canyon Tour lettering had the bear added later and so for some time carried the lettering and the bear. Eventually the tour lettering was removed from these cars.

The following 9 cars were used on the Iowa Northern Railway in Dinner Train service.
They were auctioned by the Minnesota Transportation Museum in May 2001.
