Just for fun - some photos of a Superliner dining car kitchen.

First is from the “chef’s end” on the side of the dining car which has 10 tables upstairs.  This is looking towards the center showing the ovens and griddle on the left, with work counter and refrigeration off frame to the right.

Middle photo is roughly taken from the bottom of the stairs looking at the kitchen side, with microwaves on the immediate right and refrigeration below. On the left is the Food Specialist (line cook) work space in the foreground and steam table farther down. Below the shelf in front of the steam table are warming drawers.  Just out of frame in the bottom left corner is the chute that meal tickets come down from the dining room, and to the left of the photographer are the 2 food elevators. (Dumbwaiters colloquially)

Third photo is of the “dish pit” which is under the side of the dining car that has 8 tables upstairs.  There are 3 double-door freezers on the left and dry storage beyond. On the immediate right is the dishwasher and beyond that the scullery sink, then 3 compartment sink along the back wall.  Beyond that wall is a lavatory cubicle the same as on a Superliner coach.

The counter-height dishwasher indicates this is a Superliner II dining car; the Superliner I cars had an under-counter machine.  There were other minor differences between cars but most of the equipment and setup was very similar.
