Topic: Lounge car


  
  Lounge car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A lounge car (sometimes referred to as a buffet lounge, buffet car or club car) is a type of passenger car where riders can purchase food and drinks.
The cars were often operated by the Pullman Company, and in other cases by the railroad directly as part of the dining car department (on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway the Fred Harvey Company manned the food concession).
Lounge cars operated by Pullman were exclusively for the use of sleeping car passengers, while those operated by the railroad were available to coach as well as first-class travelers.

 COFFEE CREEK - RAILROAD CAR RESTORATION
There were six identical cars ordered in 1946 and delivered in late 1948 and early 1949 for the Olympian Hiawatha Route between Chicago and Tacoma, Washington.
Temporary repairs were made to enable the cars to pay a return visit to Point St Charles in September of 1976 for stripping, before rolling their final miles to the scrapper.
We eventually had the car moved in freight service again, this time from KC to Chicago and on to Milwaukee via the CMStPandP to Milwaukee Rail Car (which I rode, in the dead of winter).

 Gulf Coast Railroad Museum
The famous Turquoise Room dome-lounge car ran just ahead of the diner, and these three cars, the dome-lounge, diner and lounge-dormitory, proved Santa Fe’s claim that the new Super Chief set “a new world standard in travel.” The three cars incorporated a total of 123 non-revenue seats to pamper the Super’s first class passengers.
The lounge-dormitory cars worked in subsequent years only when the train ran in two sections during the summer and at holidays, running behind the diner as originally intended until about 1969, when consist records show the cars running at the front of the train behind the baggage cars.
Apparently, as the cars were not immediately needed for service, they were under the first to be refurbished/rebuilt by the new national carrier.

The original observation cars were stored for a period of time and then dismantled in 1957, with the trucks being used on coach “kits” purchased from Pullman and finished by Southern Railway.
