cafe car

Railway dining carriage

A cafe car is a railroad car on a passenger train that serves food and beverages, typically offering a more casual selection than a full dining car.

Passengers can purchase snacks, sandwiches, and drinks to consume there or take back to their seats: I grabbed a coffee from the cafe car.

Also called a lounge car or club car on some routes.
