Description:  Behind that was Northern Sky's Norther Dreams sleeper car. It was built by Pullman-Standard in 1955 for Union Pacific as a five double bedroom-buffet-Redwood Lounge car named North Platte. UP rebuilt it in 1956 making it an 11-bedroom car and renaming it Star Scene. It was sold and also worked the Virginia to Florida route on the Auto Train. Hoffman decided that he wanted to buy a sleeper since he couldn’t take the Northern Sky into New York’s Penn Station, so this sleeper was sold to Northern Sky Rail Charters in 1999 and renamed Northern Dreams. The car was upgraded and refurbished in 2003 and was made into a sleeper-lounge with six bedrooms (one for the crew), sleeping 12.
