Dining Cars and Catering

“All the major trains, like the Grand Trunk Express, the Frontier Mail and the Deccan Queen, had luxurious dining cars attached.” “The caterers were British companies. Spencer’s served the Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway and the North Western Railway, Kellner’s the East India Railway and Brandon’s the Great Indian Peninsular Railway and the Bombay, Baroda and Central India. Only the BNR, the Bengal Nagpur Railway, did its own catering.”[1]
