EARLY RAIL-RESTAURANTS
Reprint from The Train
Dispatcher with permission.
According to the best information,
the first railway dining cars on a
regular passenger run were
operated by the Philadelphia,
Wilmington & Baltimore Railroad
between Philadelphia and Baltimore
in 1863. According to such meager
information as is available, these
cars were converted baggage cars
equipped with a long counter
running nearly the full length of the
interior. The food was prepared at
terminal stations or in restaurants
adjacent thereto and placed on the
cars immediately before the
departure of the train. These
primitive cars remained in operation
for about three years and only on
this one Carrier.
In 1867, George M. Pullman who
originated the Pullman sleeping car,
brought out what was known as his
“hotel car.” After acceptance by the
traveling public of bed equipped cars
for overnight or longer journeys, the
need began to be felt for some means
for providing meals for the
passengers, so that both food and ,
lodging could be furnished those who
set out on long trips. Pullman was
among the first to recognize this
need, and his hotel car was an effort
to meet it. He simply installed a
kitchen in one end of a sleeping car.
After the passengers arose in the
morning and the sleeping berths
were reconverted by the porter or
brakeman into day-time seats,

By Roy Long ..
portable tables were placed between
the facing seats, and meals served
from the “hotel car’I kitchen. The
first three hotel cars were named
“President,” “The Western World”
and “Kalamazoo.”
The first car built by Pullman to
be devoted exclusively to restaurant
service was the “Delmonico.”
Complete kitchens and pantries
were installed in one end and the
main body of the car wits fitted up
as a dining room in which the
passengers from all the cars of the
train could enter and take their
meals with comfort. The
“Delmonico” was put in service in
1868 on the Chicago & Alton, and
additional Pullman diner were
added later that same year. The
Michigan Central and the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy Railroads
decided to operate diners on their
trains at about the same time. The
Chicago & Alton, however, is
generally credited with having
inaugurated the dining car system
in a general way.
During this period, the C. & A.
diners were operated between
Chicago and St. Louis, and were
constructed and managed by the
Pullman Company. The price for any
meal was $1.00. Later the Alton
acquired an interest in the cars and
ultimately assumed full control of
them.
In the late 1870’s a man named
Charles Nordhofi' made a trip from
New York to California and wrote his
observations for the magazine
Harper’s Monthly in an article
titled, “California How to Go and
What to See.” In the article he
complains vigorously about the
eastern trains which tore'along at
the ridiculous speed of 40 mph. As
he expressed it, “at 35 or 40 miles
per hour the country you pass
through is a blur; one hardly sees
through the telegraph poles; reading
tires your eyes, writing is
impossible, conversation impractical
except at the auctioneer pitch, and
the motion is wearing and tiresome.
Regarding diners, Mr. Nordhoff
wrote, “From Chicago to Omaha
your train will carry a dining car
which is a great curiosity in its way.
I expected to find this somewhat
greasy, a little untidy and with the
smell of kitchen. But in fact it is as
neat, as nicely fitted, as trim and I
cleanly as though Delmonico himself
had furnished it; and through the
kitchen is in the forward end of the
car, so perfect is the ventilation that
there is not even the faintest odor of
cooking. You order your breakfast,
dinner or supper from a bill of fare
which contains quite a surprising
number of dishes, you eat admirably
cooked from snow white linen, and
pay a moderate price.
,It is now the custom to charge a
dollar per meal and this is not too
much. You may have your choice in
the wilderness eating at the rate of
22 miles per hour, of buffalo, elk,
antelope, beefsteak, mutton chops or
grouse.”
