The CZ diners had a very limited pantry capacity because they were 
designed to always operate as a married pair with the Coffee Shop 
Car, which had a very large pantry designed to supply both cars. This 
feature became a well-known Achilles Heel that would and could at 
times limit their use on trains other than the CZ.

It also created problems for Amtrak who when using CZ diners in the 
early days on the SFZ had to marry them to former SP domes that had 
crude but ample storage capacity under their raised floors.
