Parlor-Buffet Cars

Parlor-Buffet car 600 is at the head of a two car train on Broadway in front of the Traction Terminal Building in 1925. This train has just come from Chicago as a limited. A Fox River car is seen heading north on the opposite track while a second Fox River car heads south.

A five car train operates as a limited with parlor-buffet car 600 in the lead. The steel sheathing below the belt rail on the 600 gives the appearance of one of the new steel cars, but the stained-glass arch windows betray its heritage as a wooden car.
