Diner on the Rear
Author: regalstream1516

Thanks to the post from 'scraphauler' we learned that the car removed from the Southwest Chief in ABQ Friday was the dining car.  Cut out eastbound due to a malfunctioning vent fan.  This morning, train #4 out of LA last night was carrying a dining car on the rear of the train.  The regular diner was in place in the center of the train.  It will be interesting to see if the car fills the void that Chicago will have Sunday when #3 needs a diner, or if it will 3 will leave without a diner with the replacement set out at Kansas City for an add-on in route.

if it was just the vent why not carry it throught to chi? dropped at abq to go to LA for work?  Was wondering it was cooking vent, just serve pizzas, KFC and stuff

The much bigger question is how accessable is that fan and motor?
If you have to disassemble half the kitchen to get to it it's going to take a while...
