The Florida East Coast Railway 1996 was built by the American Car & Foundry Co. in February 1965 as a coach for the Union Pacific Railroad. It was purchased by The Florida East Coast Railway for use in “work train” service. In 1996, it was renumbered “1996” to coincide with the City of Miami’s & Florida East Coast Railway’s Centennial.
The Florida East Coast Railway 1996 contains an exhibit of South Florida Railroad Photographs. This car was donated by the Florida East Coast Employees as a gift for the Post Hurricane Andrew Recovery Effort.
