    I never thanked you either, but now belatedly I do. Many times I ate at the counter in snack car SLSF 1602, served by Bailey (don't know whether that was a first or last name, but everyone knew him and he knew everybody). In later years when I started trying to analyze the operation of 704/709 I realized there must have been some sort of dormitory arrangement as he seemed to work both legs of the trip and your floor plans confirmed that, indeed, such was the case. Oh that we could relive those days --dinner in the diner/lounge/obs of the Meteor was certainly special, but Bailey's ham and egg breakfast on 709 was to die for! Anyway, thanks Doug.

    And I, the counter in 1603 - usually on #107. Cheeseburger and a Coke. However, I did not get the attendant's name.


    As a postscript: In 1962 I was so enthralled with this car that I hustled over to Spotlight and bought an undec Athearn arch roof coach, some clunky Walthers details and interiors, and some Squadron styrene and "kitbashed" myself one from photos I took with my Brownie. Hey, I was only 14 but I was sure proud of that car.
