Union Pacific 6-bunk Maintenance of Way box car

Seen in Nebraska in 1983 -- there is a warning on it: "Do not hump under any circumstances" which will mean do not push over humps in classification yards.  80 of this type were built.

The Railroad places these bunk cars where ever there is work going on. When the work is done, they will just leave it there until they need it somewhere else. They will usually have several of these in a rescue train that goes out on a derailment, or some major track renewal. Everybody works in shifts until the wreck is all cleaned up, usually 3 or 4 days. I would really like to build about 5 or 6 of these and scatter them around the Railroad. I could create a derailment scene with 3 or 4 of them in a wreck train!
