<DIV align=left> The Norfolk and Western expects to receive in
a short time seven new dining cars of the latest improved heavy type which will
be put in service. All but two of the present cars will be converted to
other uses while the two cars to be retained will be used for extra work in case
one of the new cars is put in for repairs. The cars will be used on the
regular trains which now have a dining car service.</DIV>
<DIV align=center>------</DIV>
<DIV align=left>[<EM>The pride in the "heavy type" is in contrast to the pride
in lightweight passenger cars several decades later. These seven 1910
diners may have been wooden cars because they did not survive (like some 1914
diners) to be listed in a 1950's MP Data Book, which listed these dining
cars: 3 De, 1012--1014 inc., ACF, 1914--1915; 7 De, 1015--1021,
Pullman 1923; 3 De 1022--1024, Pullman 1927; and 4 D1, 491--494,
Pullman 1949.</EM>]</DIV>
