Texas Chief lunch counter diner question
Author: UP951West

 When I rode the TX Chief in Dec. ,1969 there was either  a lunch counter diner or a  dorm/ lunch counter diner ? Which type was most often used on ATSF 15/16 ?
Thank you . --Kelly

According to Frailey, the Texas Chief ran in two sections 4 days a week in the '69-'70 holiday 
season ( second section ran Chicago to Purcell ). The Houston section had both Hi-Level and conventional
chair cars, followed by 
a lunch counter-diner-dorm ( 1570, 71, 74, 76 assigned )
a full dome-bar-lounge-dorm ( 550 series assigned )
a 46 seat diner
and then the sleepers.

Hope this helps.

Does anyone have some interior photos of the lunch counter diners that they can post?  Thanks
