List,

When the Erie introduced Diner 956, it was a major event. Before it went
into service, it was loaded on a car float and taken to Manhattan so
President Underwood and his top executive staff could dine in it. This
interesting story is told in the attached article from Nov 9, 1902 that
appeared in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.

I also found a photo of the interior in a 1902 magazine (I failed to note
it). This same photo is for sale on Ebay.
