Imagine if trains still looked like this: a new dining car on the streamlined Twentieth Century Limited, the New York Central train on the New York-Chicago run, which made its debut on September 17, 1948. The diner, designed by Henry Dreyfuss, seated 64 people and had an adjoining kitchen car, with a dormitory for the crew.

Inside an old train

We have

The rooms

You have a folding bed, a folding toilet, and a folding sink

This was the lower class. Everyone like it so tiny and I'm like I wish I had a bed when on the amtrak train for 10+ hours

Then we have le kitchen

Holds a staff of 4 and theres a little walkway to go around the kitchen to the next car.

This is Hell. They had no windows only 2 exhaust fans. It was hotter in here than the engine's cab.

Then we have the dining room

Much better, much more spacious and cozy

This car was one of the Silver Spoons
