View showing the interior of a dining car of a train of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Two African American waiters, wearing mustaches and attired in white suits, stand among tables adorned in table cloths and with seating for four. In the background, a beverage service, including bottles, silver ice buckets, silver bowls, and possibly a decanter are visible. View also includes hooks above the car windows and light fixtures on the ceiling. One of the waiters carries a bottle of champagne on a tray. In June 1887, the Pennsylvania Limited began running between New York and Chicago, which was replaced by the Pennsylvania Special in 1902 and by the Broadway Limited in 1912.
