Concerning vending machines et.al. <br /> <br />If memory serves me correctly it was the SP that installed "Automat" cars on the Sunset and later the Daylight. On the Q's Nebraska Zephyr, the articulated diner was converted to a sort of "Cafeteria" car. Over on the Milwaukee a diner or two for one of the Hiawathas was converted to a "Buffeteria" car. There was a waiter on duty to help you with your tray to a table. <br />Even into Amtrak in the early years the meals in the still-GN/BN operated diner were great. I remember meals on Amtrak's (GM&O) Prairie State and Abe Lincoln that were fabulous. They had fresh baked muffins that I couldn't stop eating. Meals on the refurbished (1973 episode) of The Broadway were right up there. The prime rib was tender and juicy. The twin diner was still in the consist and the service was prompt, even when the train's performance wasn't. <br />Mitch
