Kitchen Cars Built for Troop Trains

Kitchen Cars Built for Troop Trains
Kitchen cars that are individually
of sufficient capacity to meet the needs
of a fair-sized hotel are being carried
with the long troop trains operated on
one of the Canadian railways between
military training camps and the sea-
board. They have been constructed
to facilitate the dining service so that
meals can be prepared for several hum
dred men and served without confu-
sion or delay, says the Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. Each Of these mo-
bile kitchens occupies an entire car,
Is equipped with 1O-foot range,
steam--cooking apparatus, a spacious
refrigerator and other necessary par
aphernalia. This Is all installed on
one side and inclosed by a long table
extending the full length Of the car.
A passageway is provided between this
counter and unobstructed wall, so that
walters can enter and leave the kitch-
en- without disorganizing the work OF
the eight cooks and helpers.
