SP Diner 10264         
SP 10264 - The dining unit of 3-unit articulated coffee shop-kitchen-diner 10262-10263-10264. The car was retired in 1968 and was one of about 100 cars sold to Judge Roy Hofheinz in Houston for use as a motel in the ASTRODOMAIN hotel complex next to the Houston ASTRODOME (which explains why it was in Houston); but none of the cars were ever used and most were scrapped. This car and the 10265-10266-10267 were built by Pullman-Standard in 1949 for service on the SHASTA DAYLIGHT.
