Mike and List,

I came across a news article that appeared in numerous newspapers in October
of 1902. It is about a new dining car on the Erie. I've copied the Niagara
Falls Gazette copy as it was clearer and headlines the article as "Car 956".
If the car had a name I'm sure they would have used it, but all the articles
refer to "Car 956".
