>From the Railway Master Mechanic of August 1905 



The Burlington dining cars are going to the shops as they can be spared, with 
their cherry, mahogany, gold and sky-blue finish looking a little worse for 
wear, and they come out a marvellous creation in yellow, Flemish oak and red.  
The dining car Ottumwa, in service west of Lincoln, the woodwork in the 
interior is finished Flemish oak: the furniture and the panels are the same.  
The ceiling is a bright yellow, studded with white Pintsch gas lights.  Over 
each table are delicate candelabra in red and gold.  The chairs are Flemish oak 
with red leather backs; red and yellow tile on the floor; red curtains mounted 
below colored light filters. ? Nebraska State Journal
