According to
Todd Brown, apparently 1134 was the only auto-train car that did
not have a 'dash' or hyphen in its lettering between the words "auto"
and "train". One side has a window in the place it would
have gone, and the other side simply did not have it.

The auto-train
locomotives were not capable of providing power and steam heat to
the passenger cars of the train, so steam generator cars were needed.

In the late
'70s this car was renumbered 1134 to allow the number 134 to be
used by a new auto carrier car that auto-train had purchased.
