This is the bar/restaurant. There was another, equally elegant car behind this one for meals only, but both were soon full only an hour after I snapped this photo. Having lunch on the first class train required almost an hour and half, mostly waiting time for a table.

Some of technical problems the builders had to overcome were the chawning ravines in the path of the railroad. Most all of the 36 bridges on the route are over 100 feet tall, and one is over 1,000 feet tall. The railroad required 100 years to build.
