vice on its Pioneer Limited trains the
largest and handsomest dining car ev-
Ell built. 1t Is 80 feet in length from
tip to tip. and its body Is six inches
wider and higher than the usual dining
car. It seats SO people comfortably in
movable chairs and has a kitchen
large enough to permit the working OF
six cooks which with six walters and
a conductor make up the crew. The
dining ars heretofore in service did
not provide SUFFICIENT space to proper
