Is there a floor plan for the car? Can't quite put that together from the several photos, official museum site.
Nice ride to Key Largo in its day, eh what?
I haven't seen a floor plan, perhaps this may help. Entering from the front of the car, the vestibule is enclosed. Bear left and you face the cabinet with the gas controls and tool storage area. The passageway along the right side of the car(picture's left side) passes the chef and porter half section and the kitchen(also storage areas outside the kitchen for non-perishable items), Full width dining room. The rear passageway is on the car's left and passes the misses' bedroom w/bath. Aft of the only bedroom is the Section with seating and sleeping accomodations for four people. Rearmost is the solarium/parlor/lounge or whatever she called that area. Single center door to the observation car's deck. Hope this helps a little.
Just under two hours from Lansing, Illinois. Route 35 and Route 421 are very good roads.
