We feel pe o,ve word of explanation to
the many folks who stand patiently in line
before getting seats in our dining cars these
war days-and word of appreciation to
the many others who get along with sand
wiches or box lunches. Maybe these figures
will surprise you, and give you an idea how
big job we're doing.
Tn the first six months of 1910, when our
dining cars were by no means empty, we
served l,456, 3O7 meals. In the first six
months of this year (1943) we served
6,l55 900 dining ear meals-nearly tiUe
times as many.
That's lot of meals when you consider that
a railroad dining car seats only 80 people at
a time, and kitchen space per car measures
only 26 feet feet, 8 inches!
Last year zoe served total OF 1000, ,428 din
ing car meals-a million more than any
other railroad. And in our dining cars and
restaurants zoe are noiO serving more meals
to the armed forces than any other THREE
railroads combined.
Part Of our problem today is longer trains
and fewer diners dozens of our diners are
now in military service). With several hun
dred passengers on a train it takes long
time to serve everyone who wants to eat.

The officer didn't care for the idea
of an escort against such a superior

Remember, we cant build new dining cars
because of material shortages. So aside from
a few dining cars leased from other roads,
we have to operate with only the dining car
equipment we had before the war. We can't
add extra diners to extra-long passenger
trains as we used to do.
Counting lunches and sandwiches served
in coaches, and meals at our restaurants and
fountains, we fed II, ,l78,00O people during
the first six months of l943-an increase OF
more than fue million! With rationing'
food shortages, and inexperienced help, we
think any housewife will agree we have had
our hands full.
OF the 24OO employees in our dining car serv-
ice at least half are new to our service. These
new S.P. men and women are willing and
eager, but it takes time to turn beginners
into experts.
While we're not happy about the wartime
congestion on our trains, we have the satis-
faction of knowing that we've stretched our
dining car facilities as far as is humanity
possible. We're going to continue to do all
we can to give the best service possible to
you folks who need to travel.
