Description
Frisco’s Diner ‘Tulsa’
Frisco had two Lounge-Diners built for the Meteor. named Tulsa and Oklahoma City, both built by Pullman-Standard with round end observation style for end of train use. In later years the inconvenience of a diner only used at the end of the train, lead to the decision to have the car modified for mid-train use.
That is the version we have in this production. Decorated in the silver and red as all of the other Meteor cars.
This is a classic version of the Tulsa. What a beauty!
The consist was as follows: One RPO Baggage, often one or two heavyweight baggage (as needed), three or four Chair Cars, a Dormitory Chair Car, one Dining Car, Coach Buffet Lounge, five Sleepers, one Buffet Lounge Observation Car. This was pulled by two E-7 locomotives in the bright red scheme.
The Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis, is a great resource for this information and I have relied heavily on their publication on the Meteor. They also show consists in the 1950’s and 60’s with more head-end baggage and heavyweight Pullman Sleepers in the consists.
