AMTK 20908 |
| Description: |
Amtrak food service car (Amdinette) 20908 was on Train No. 20 – the northbound CRESCENT – on its way out of New Orleans at East City Junction. This car had been built in July 1976 as Amdinette 20208 with eight 4-place booths, a snack bar and 23 coach seats. In October 1983 it was refurbished for Metroliner Service and renumbered 20908, so its appearance on Train 20 was quite unusual. It was subsequently equipped with a trainline for push-pull operation and converted to a full dinette with 14 four-place booths and a snack bar, and was renumbered 43394. |
