The fourth car back appears to be an A series dining car.

Yes, the roof bulges. So that would make the first car [which appears
to me to be a combination-type car] a Pullman car also? Interesting.

Just one comment from my own observations Roger - the Pullman company
had
air conditioned cars with the aid conditioning ducted outside the
original
clerestory roof (in the bulges you can see in the photo). CPR cars
ducted
internally, without the bulges (at least as a general rule). So I have
little doubt those are Pullmans.
I was hoping to find a Life Mag. story on the train, but nothing so
far.
