Equipment Information

IC 2804 is an all-steel heavyweight coach. It is known as a “day coach” to denote its configuration for longer-distance transportation, with more comfortable seating than a short-haul commuter coach. When new, it was segregated into White and Black seating areas complete with separate bathrooms due to “Jim Crow” laws in southern states through which the IC ran. In the 1950s it was rebuilt without these features.
