Diner #6061

Dining car #6061 was built for the Seaboard Airline Railroad in 1947 by Budd. It was used on the Seaboard Airline and Atlantic Coastline Railroads until Amtrack took over passenger train service and renumbered it #8011. It remained in Amtrack service until 1986, when it was auctioned to a private owner. It has been on the museum grounds since 1989, and the museum purchased the car in 2000. The diner seats 48 at one time, has a full stainless steel kitchen, and remains in service for special excursions and special occasions on the museum grounds.
