Title: The Southern Railway dining car cookbook
Description: Nothing was better than dinner in a railroad dining car. Food had to be simple to prepare, especially when the kitchen was rolling down the tracks at speeds of up to 80 mph. The Southern Railway served the South, and the meals in the dining cars reflected the good, wholesome food from that area. You won't find an exotic quiche in this book, but there are classics such as Fried Chicken Southern Style with Cream Gravy and Southern Shrimp Creole. There was an added bonus to dinner in the diner -- the ever-changing American landscape outside the window. The heyday of the passenger train may be gone, but the food that helped make getting there half the fun, is still available and easy to make for the average home cook.
