Book -- Nothing Could Be Finer Than a Frisco Diner

Food service on the St. LouispSan Francisco Railroad began with a single converted coach and grew into a fleet of 34 dining cars serving the Frisco{s nine-state territory in the mid-1940s. Immediately after World War II, brand new streamlined dining cars were added to the Frisco{s fleet. It was a time when businessmen, celebrities and families on vacation routinely took the train to their destinations, and dinner in the diner was a special treat. This book preserves the memories of the people who made the dining car experience possible, and to pass on the lure of the dining car to generations that have never known the appeal of "dinner in the diner."
