Amtrak 606 was built by the St. Louis Car Co. in 1953 as U.S. Army kitchen car 89606. It was one of 89 such cars built under Lot. 1773 (89600-89688). Fifty of these cars were transferred to Amtrak in 1973, where most of them became 1300- and 1350-series baggage cars. This car was assigned Amtrak number 8902, one of seven cars initially assigned numbers 8900-8906 for use as kitchen cars; but all of these cars retained the last three digits of the Amy numbers and were used for storage at various locations.
