But the Silver Cuisine was one of 3 diners delivered in 1952 amongst
cars to cover the Kansas City and American Royal Zephyrs and the
Blackhawk as well as extra CZ cars to interline between CZ and Ak Sar
Ben Zephyr trains. I do not know if it had the intercom system the
CZ cars all had.
I know the Silver Cuisine was used, along with the Silver Inn on the
Denver Zephyr I rode in June of 1966. The Chuckwagon was apparently
in the shop because the Cuisine substituted for it, and the Inn
substituted for the regular DZ dining car. There was a third dome on
the train in the coach section but those of us who would have ridden
in the Chuckwagon dome rode in the dome of DZ-14, the Colorado
Springs Dome Coach, instead. By that time, the Denver Slumbercoach
was numbered SC-7 and was behind the diner. That was the car I rode
in. The Colorado Springs Slumbercoach was still DZ-12 and was right
behind DZ-14.
