Passenger cars #90 and #91

Both are actually 6-3 Sleeping Cars   (6 compartment + 3 drawing rooms)

# 90 built 11/24 by Pullman as Pullman Co. "Flotow" to ARR 8/1955 # 90 "Mt. Susitna"

# 91 built 7/1925 by Pullman as Pullman Co. "Raphael" to ARR 8/1955 # 91 "Mt. Iliamna"

Both cars saw service on the overbite Anchorage-Fairbanks train in the late 1950's (along with # 92) After that was discontinued they were mainly used for Army troop movements and as spare coaches.

Both were sent to the McKinley Park hotel after the fire there to be used as temporary rooms until the  new hotel was built.

After that they were both sold to a private individual who moved them to Nenana.
