During the early 1990s, the Southern Pacific Railroad's railcars were in need of repair and the railroad had little cash to revitalize the fleet. A deal was struck that entailed selling the cars to Greenbrier and then having Gunderson rebuild the cars to later be leased back to the SP. Due to a legal reasons, Greenbrier needed to use an actual railroad reporting marks so they worked out deals with Galveston Railroad (GVSR), Coe Rail(CRLE), Ventura County Railway (VCY) and even Kansas City Southern (KCS). The cars lost their original SP, SSW and DRGW reporting marks in the process of receiving a bright blue2 coat of paint along with the yellow and red Golden West Service logo.
