CB&Q 192
Title:  CB&Q 192
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Diner 192 plan scanned from the book, Passenger Car Library Volume 1, by PRC Publications Inc., by Chuck Zeiler. Of interest are the sliding tables and seating against the windows. A later plan shows that this arrangement was changed to conventional seating. I'm not sure the sliding table plan was ever implemented, but if it was, it must have made for interesting dining during rough train-handling situations. The trucks are incorrect.

CB&Q 192
Title:  CB&Q 192
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Diner 192 plan, scanned from the book, Passenger Car Diagrams, published by Railway Production Classics, by Chuck Zeiler. I believe this was originally a CB&Q document, and it illustrates a change in interior configuration seating arrangement. More than likely someone determined that sliding tables in a moving train (as shown in the original plan) wasn't a good idea.

CB&Q 192
Title:  CB&Q 192
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Diner 192, named Silver Spoon, at the Museum of Transportation in Saint Louis, Missouri on May 25, 1986, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 192 was one of three diners built by Budd, ordered in October 1937 on Job 946, delivered in May 1938. The original assignment was on the Aristocrat operating between Chicago and Denver, but the three diners spent most of their careers as spare cars in the Zephyr fleet. They were used on the Twin Cities Zephyrs in 1947 during the period after the 9904-9905 articulated trainsets were assigned to the Nebraska Zephyrs and before the new dining cars were delivered in 1948. This car illustrates the pre-war Budd design for the Zephyr fleet, with screwed in windows, cutouts in the lower fluting for the trucks and inboard truck-mounted brake cylinders.

CB&Q 192
Title:  CB&Q 192
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Diner 192 truck at the Museum of Transportation in Saint Louis, Missouri on May 25, 1986, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The trucks have inboard truck-mounted brake cylinders. I believe the trucks were manufactured by Commonwealth, but I have not (yet) determined the model number. A CB&Q Diagram Sheet shows the trucks as No. 3-L1, but that's likely the CB&Q designation.
