Donated to the City of Garland in 1976 by the Santa Fe Railroad, this 1910 Pullman Coach Car #582 transported passengers on the main line steam trains of the Santa Fe railroad system from 1910 to about 1930, playing a vital role in troop transportation during World War I. From 1930 to 1949, it connected small towns in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas, linking Santa Fe’s branch lines like Garland’s to their main line. Finally, in 1949, it was taken out of service and became living quarters for a Santa Fe employee, saving it from the demolition many similar railroad cars faced.
