List, Found this today in the micro-film machine, an article dated August 1,
1916: "CB&Q Putting Soda Fountains in for Relief of Passengers." The Q was
equiping its new lounging cars for the Chicago-Denver, Chicago-Omaha, and
Chicago-St. Paul trains with soda fountains similar to those used in drug
stores from which passengers may be served any time of the day or night. The
article goes on to say that is planned to install fountains on the older
cars............maybe Amtrak is missing the boat? Bill
