The cars are short, light construction and sway, shake and bounce around so fiercely that it is impossible to read or write and un- pleasant to even walk outside in the narrow aisle. Each car is provided with one toilet, which is used indis- criminately by men, women and children of all classes. However, on most trains each car is a class by itself, The dining car service is excel- lent and the food good. You don't order dinner, but take what the waiters bring you and I found this service quick and satisfactory.
