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