Everybody:
Thanks for the info! A 1904 chair car is much more believable. I'll
have to find a copy of the Glick book. I'm not sure what sort of
lowered ceiling there could be, as shown in one of my recent pictures
it looks pretty original.
The car itself is used for lunch service, at least. The pictures are
only on the side of the car away from the road. Closed Sunday and
Monday.
