A streamlined Pullman car in Portland, Oregon has been converted into a luxury home and is now for sale. Here are some links with more information and photos:

I am not associated with it in any way; just found it interesting.
More information: It was built in 1948 by Pullman-Standard as Spokane, Portland & Seattle #366, the Portland. It originally featured 8 duplex roomettes, 6 roomettes, 3 double bedrooms and 1 compartment. Northern Pacific owned 17 of these cars, but this was the only one owned by the SP&S. Like the NP cars, it was used on the North Coast Limited, but owned by the SP&S representing the through-car connection to Portland, which was made in Pasco, Washington. The car lost the name Portland in March of 1954, and from then on was known simply as #366. It is located at East Portland Jct., where the Oregon Pacific Railroad meets the Union Pacific. The Oregon Museum of Science & Industry (OMSI) is nearby. Three former Milwaukee Road cars are on the same siding.
