Built by the Pullman Company as one of the first all-steel business cars, Federal began service on February 3, 1911. Presidents Taft and Wilson used the car for their travels from 1911 to 1916. Federal was sold to the DL&WW Railroad in 1933. Acquired in 1992, Federal underwent extensive restoration and returned to operating service in October, 2002.

Other features include a large shower and changing room, crew quarters, full-service kitchen, stereo CD/TV/VCR/DVD, original Pullman carpeting, observation lounge, and open rear platform with original brass railings.
