CBQ Dinette #551 - "Huckleberry Finn"
Title:  CBQ Dinette #551 - "Huckleberry Finn"
Description:  The third car in the original Mark Twain Zephyr was the dineete/kitchen car, "Huckleberry Finn". It once held 16 seats in groups of 4, a service counter and a kitchen/pantry/steam generator. This will be transformed into a walk-through, full service dining car under the massive renovations taking place at the Wisconsin Great Northern yard.
