10405 is the Pacific Terrace.The unit of interest is 10405, an unnamed buffer car with modified diaphragms. It is used to seperate single level equipment from Superliners when deadheading to/from Beech Grove. Without it the diaphragms would not match up and could become damaged. In the instance pictured, it was not needed for this purpose, but was sent to Chicago to potentially deadhead any Superliners headed for overhaul tonight. The Viewliner was returning from overhaul. There is a second buffer car, 10404 which wears Phase III.
