It's interesting that these cars were included on the EL passenger car
roster that David forwarded to the list (with the help of Henry and Paul)
this past April. I made a screen capture of the ATSF section which I am
attaching.

According to a fairly extensive ATSF passenger train/equipment website [
http://santafe.gmbus.com/ ] coach 3070 was the very first lightweight coach
(chair car) Santa Fe acquired back in 1936. Car 3071 was the second,
acquired from St. Louis Car Company in 1936, but this car was not included
in the 28 cars sold to NJDOT. (3083 is not listed as included in the sale
either.) The cars sold were exclusively Budds. The sale of the coaches to
NJDOT is listed as taking place in 1969-70.
