Nostalgia & History > L&N Diner Duncan Hines

This dining car is sitting in Bowling Green, KY and can be viewed at the Railpark & Train Museum. They have a nice tour of the diner and other cars.

My question is: Did this car operate on Amtrak? Briefly in the 70s? If so, which trains? Car Number?

That car isn't the Duncan Hines. It's the former SP 10202 diner built by PS in 1949. It did operate on Amtrak but similar to many of the ex-SP PS-built cars, was never refurbished by Amtrak and was primarily used on the west coast in standby and Reno Fun Train service until retirement circa 1977. I believe it was sold to the Kentucky Railway Museum and eventually found it's way to the Bowling Green display as a stand-in for the former L&N diner.

Thank you. They have decorated the interior very nicely.
