railroad at l o'clock Sunday after
noon. The Oregon Short Line Kali
-oad company has just had three new
diners built by the Standard Pullman
company, and the first of these made
It's appearance in Salt Lake City yes
terday. 1t was a magnificent car, the
finest diner. In fact, which ever pulled
into this city.
The three new cars have been es-
pecially built for the st. Louis G. Col
orado Limited, the new through train
between St Louis and the Portland
gateway, which will make It's initial
run over the tracks of the Wabash,
Union Pacific, Oregon Short Line and
the Oregon Railroad e. Navigation
company's lines on April IA. This Will
be one Of the most magnificent trains
which has ever been run through the
western part of the United States. and.
In fact. as good as Is run over any
road in the entire country. The new
diners, a sample OF which was seen
In Salt Lake City Sunday, are simply
typical of the elegant equipment OF
the new train. The numbers of the
three new diners are $50, 361 and 362.
These splendid new dining cars are
seventy-two feet and six inches long
and are fitted with wide anti-telescop
ing vestibules. which are beautifully
finished in polished birch. The inter
ior of the dining room proper is FIN
ished in solid mahogany and the kitch-
cn and pantry in oak. Each car con-
tains five large and Ave small tables
each OF which are made of mahogany,
as is also the handsomely carved side
board. The large tables seat four
people each and the small ones two,
thus making the seating capacity or
each car thirty people. The chairs
are made of mahogany, with green
leather seats and backs. The beauti-
full green leather makes a splendid
contrast with the red mahogany fin
iShing.
The cars are heated with the vapor
heating system and are lighted by
10Th Pintsch gas and electricity. They
cost the Oregon Short Line company
$4,000 each. In the front end or
each diner is situated the buffet. where
a large supply of beer. fancy wines
and other drinks are kept in store on
any like the dinning room Across
from the buffet on the other side of
the car Is the lavatory, The pantry
and kitchen are located on the rear
end of the car.
One is almost astonished when he
enters the kitchen OF one of these new
diners. The kitchen is a room about
twelve feet long and perhaps eignt
feet wide. On one Side OF this room
Is situated the tables, while on the
other there is large range with an
immense boiler of heated water and
the refrlgerators wherein are oept all
of the food The Ice Is put into the
ice boxes from the top and the COM
partments where the food Is kept
opens up like small cupboards under
meath It is surprising how cold the
food can be kept In these refr1gerat-
CTS when there Is such an immense
heat from the range so near. Hooks
and shelves are so arranged that every
cooking utensil can easily be hung
up where 1t Will be handy.
Like the kitchen, the pantry 1s
equipped with all necessary hooks and
shelves, and on each car is a new set
of dishes, knives, forks and spoons,
table linen and so on. The handsome
sideboard is fitted with large plate
glass mirror. The cars are made or
steel and the outside appearance dit
fers but little from that OF the stand
ara Pullman. Taking In everything,
the new cars come as near reaching
perfection as that point can be reach
ed. The car which left Salt Lake on
No. Z Sunday afternoon was truly a
revelation to a person who knew moth
Ing of the equipment OF the most
modern diners.
