TrainsOnTheBrain posted:@Lou1985 Thanks!! That's a nice looking train, sir!
@Hot Water I appreciate the input. Am I safe to assume that even a combine would be a safe addition as the chair car, or would it have in fact been a chair car?
Yes. Whatever was available at the time.
Would that be something that would depend on the route (as in.. less potential riders needing fewer possible seats?)
Maybe, as if LCL (Less than Car Load) or mail/baggage/company mail was a requirement, then a combine could have been necessary. However, most of the more famous, big main line "Fast Mail" trains, had a chair car, or a combine whichever was available THAT DAY.
