Tavern car aboard the Southern Pacific train “Shasta Daylight”, 1949
Tavern cars were a type of passenger car used on American railroads from the 1930s through the postwar period into the early days of Amtrak in the 1970s. Basically buffet cars by a different name, tavern cars differed from formal dining cars in that they offered beverages and light meals (burgers and club sandwiches were especially popular) à la carte in a relaxed, informal environment, with lounge-like seating. Tavern cars offered drinks and meals at any time of day that the train was in service, including mid-afternoon and late at night, whereas dining cars served formal meals of several courses, and only at certain times of day.
