New York, Chicago & St. Louis Dining and Observation Car #125

Nickel Plate Road #125, a heavyweight dining and observation car, was built in 1930 by Pullman. It has a full kitchen occupying 30' at one end of the car and a dining area with seating for 30 (6 four person tables and 3 two person tables). Enter the car from the B end. The kitchen is to the right and a passageway is to the left. The passageway leads into a pantry, and then into the 48' dining area. Note that each table has two clips which fit into receptors in the wall. The tables also have folding legs so they can be removed and stored. Currently a display case containing dining car artifacts occupies part of the dining area.

Dining car #125 was purchased from the Oregon, Pacific and Eastern Railway in 1978. The body is painted blue and lettering is yellow.
