This is my first time responding to anything. I focus on Q passenger – primarily on the Chicago-Twin Cities line.  

I am interested in the diner lounges 307-308 and 325-326.  They were made from full diners.  And it looks as though the vestibules were added.  Can someone comment how these cars were used and why they were constructed?

I share a photo of one (326).  I got the photo from a website that is now not active.

I am presuming that the sill was apparently a flat girder or channel, and that the brake levers, etc. were mounted on the bottom surface (like freight cars).  Am I correct?  Does anyone know?
