Dinner Bell in the Dome Lounge Car.

In the 1970s, guests are called to dine with a dining car chime.

Dinner Bell in the Dome Lounge Car.
Inside one of the ex-Southern Pacific, ¾ dome lounge cars, of which Amtrak only had five, a steward plays a dining car chime calling passengers to go to dinner. This photograph was likely taken in the 1970s, as all of these cars were retired by 1981.
