When this subject was discussed back in November 2001 on the old BRHS List, 
John 
Mitchell commented "Not only did Grier operate 

restaurants on Burlington property, they operated the "kitchen cars" on the 
company service outfits. Hope their food was better in 

the restaurants than on the camp cars!"

There's a copy of a Grier's menu card shown on page 2 of Zephyr 50 and there's 
a 
copy of a Grier's postcard on page 30 of Bulletin 

37.

>From Bulletin 9 page 24 "When fire damaged the Seneca Cafe In 1946, the John 
>J. 
Grier Co. set up shop in five company service 

boxcars to feed railroaders until the cafe was repaired.  Called "the dining 
car", the name has been the source of some confusion 

since a real dining car wasn't used. There is a photo of the line of cars and 
an 
internal shot of the Cafe.
