Reply to "Observation Car on NYC 1935-38 20th Century Limited"

That makes sense on the dining car.  Dining car services were contracted services so not all roads used the Pullman Company for those services.  I found this on Wikipedia.  This might be useful for you.  I found it to be very educational.
