In equipment listings in timetables and The Official Guide you'll see certain cars that have the note "For Sleeping Car Passengers or Pullman passengers Only." This indicates the restrictions. The budget diners, i.e. "Ranch Car," or "Lewis and Clark Travellers Rest" cars were provided for economy minded guests. On trips I've had breakfast or lunch in the one and dinner in the other. <br />Some railroads on their coupon strip tickets for first class referred to this as "Unrestricted Class." There also was a formula to compute "Mixed Class" fares. This was done to provide a passenger with a fare where by day they would travel in coach, and then for the evening portion of the trip they could move to Pullman accomodations. <br />Mitch
