In 1947, 2 of these cars (#2188 and #2175) were rebuilt at the Burnside Shops to 48 seat club lounge round end observations #3305 MARDI GRAS and #3306 AUDUBON PARK respectively for the CITY OF NEW ORLEANS. In 1971, the #3305 was sold to Louis Saia, and later went to the New Orleans Chapter NRHS, resold in 1977 to the Roanoke Chapter, and acquired in 2010 by Iowa Pacific. The #3306 was also retired (exact year unknown) and sold to a private owner. Several years later, it was moved to a hunting lodge/ranch near McKinney, TX, and was acquired by Iowa Pacific in 2013.
