'There will be a great future for the restaurant car, despite the airship and other dreadful vehicles lately projected. The car has come to stay. Gradually, but surely, the side-door coaches will become obsolete, and the trains of the future, other than those used for suburban services, will consist of corridors marshalled to restaurant cars. Then will the picturesque wayside railway refreshment rooms become, like the old coaching days, things of the past; passengers picked up en route, if journeying for only ten miles or so, will be enabled to partake of the delicacies of the metropolis while speeding through the dreary veld, and a great saving of time, temper, and digestion will thus be affected.' - South African Railway Magazine, April 1909
