Re: [CBQ] Dinning car question

Yes, Presto-Logs replaced coal and charcoal briquettes in post-WW2, though charcoal was still used when Presto-Logs couldn't be obtained.  Few if any Q heavyweight dining cars were ever outfitted with propane.

What, no Presto-Logs?  I thought their use was nearly universal in railroad dining cars before HEP.

For the stainless cars and most likely the heavyweights as well (at least in later years), it was propane. Note the propane door hatches under the name plate of the Silver Tureen in this photo.

What was the standard fuel used for cooking in the Q dinning cars?

I know that currently on Amtrak everything is electric.
