The 8th Car:
Dining Car
SYMPHONY

SYMPHONY was originally a 16 section Pullman sleeping car (built to Pullman plan 2412C in 1914) named WANAKENA. As the need for sleeping cars changed, WANAKENA was rebuilt as a dining car to Pullman plan 4004. It lost its name and was given the number "22".

For the Rexall Train, a long service counter was added under Pullman plan 4004A. The car got its name from Rexall's line of fine stationery.

After the Rexall tour the car went to the Atlantic Coast Line as diner #9.

Pullman provided three master chefs for the train. One was from the Illinois Central, and at least one came from the New York Central.
