Interior of GCR 255 showing the bar and cherry paneling. 27 Aug 2007. The Chief was put into service on the Grand Canyon Railway in October 2002. Total cost of the railway's restoration effort, including purchase, was $527,000. The restoration effort involved gutting the interior of the car and installing new cherry paneling, carpet and window shades. The bar area was refurbished, but the original marble bartop was preserved. Source:
