Large racks for luggage smaller for parcels. Ads or scenes holy pictures in Italy. Heavy curtain. As a rule nicely uniformed station men who use whistle and this signal to start them. red. Tagged thus if reserved in advance. Pull down arm rest to divide 3 passengers to a side. Most all regular cars of railroads, this style, divided into compartments, via slide door to each from an aisle along one side. First second and third class (no longer 2nd in England - 1st and 3rd only) seats 6 to a compartment in first, (a few designate only 4) often 8 crowd into 2nd and 3rd and stand or sit in aisles when over full. No choice. Family style 5 or 6 courses - always fresh fruit and cheeses. Coffee extra 3 men handle all. In Sweden, diner had woman cashier in booth. Layout like ours - row tables for 2 one side - for 4 on other. Porters use the large train windows to put luggage in and out. Many schedules and bulletins in 3 or 4 languages including English. Train No. 4 for most have time loud speakers at stations often women callers. At most every stop refreshment vendors some nifty carts and in Holland one was in full dress attire. A new gadget. Amsterdam via Haag. Each car is as rule well marked as above. We liked all dining: issue tickets Cars: for 1st or 2nd table reasonable cost tip included. Many third class cars have no aisles. Doors along out side lead directly as a rule wooden seats.
