Lounge car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (362 words)
A lounge car (sometimes referred to as a buffet lounge, buffet car or club car) is a type of passenger car where riders can purchase food and drinks.
The cars were often operated by the Pullman Company, and in other cases by the railroad directly as part of the dining car department (on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway the Fred Harvey Company manned the food concession).
Lounge cars operated by Pullman were exclusively for the use of sleeping car passengers, while those operated by the railroad were available to coach as well as first-class travelers.
