Thanks, everybody. I stumbled around the BRHS car list and other sites, but
could not spot this car. I was pretty sure it was a diner -- I think I remember
it in Amtrak service in the late 1970s.
On the June 8, 1969, North Coast Limited that I spoke of Silver Cuisine was
apparently providing dining and lounge services for a three-car coach
Chicago-Portland tour (NP cars) running at the front of the train, behind 4 F's
and 2 head-end cars. I could provide the entire consist, but not when it was
running on the Burlington on June 7.
