A key part of Union Pacific's public relations programs, 48 historic passenger cars and three E9 diesels make up part of the famed Heritage Fleet. Many were originally purchased fo r the City Streamliners, and have been carefully restored and updated to full operating condition. Today, they're finished in a modern Armour Yellow scheme, and the cars carry names of important cities, famous trains and key people in the railroad's long history. In service, these rolling goodwill ambassadors travel system-wide and beyond, behind UP's restored steam and diesel locos, to attend a wide range of public and special events every year.

One of five new 44-seat coaches delivered from American Car & Foundry in 1954, car #5486 was refurbished and renamed "City of Salina" in 1992, honoring UP's three-car Pullman-Standard train set that made "streamliner" a household word, which ran between Topeka and Salina, Kansas, as the "City of Salina" from 1936 to 1941.
