These include two large entry vestibules for high-volume passenger loading and unloading, two automatically controlled door pairs per side, an on-board wheelchair lift, two straight staircases, bicycle storage, large workstation tables, a food service car with an elevator to move move food from storage to the sales counter on the upper level, center aisles of width compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and control cab coach to allow for push-pull operation. Caltrans awarded the $155 million contract to build the California Cars to Morrison-Knudsen in February 1992.
