This car was originally built as a heavyweight passenger car in 1914 by Barney & Smith. It was rebuilt in 1930 as a “Cafe Car” by Great Northern giving it a dining room and kitchen and seating about 50 passengers. All Cafe Cars were a step above normal standard coach. Currently our highest priority renovation project, the 974 was painted in 2021 and is being readied for service on our tour train.
