Luggage rack replaced seats on lower level of C-3?

One of the cars on a train going to Port Jeff last night looked like it had a luggage storage rack instead of seats in the middle on the lower level. I noticed it from outside the train and didn't get the car number or a photograph. Did I imagine that, or did they put that in? The others didn't have it. Thanks!

Probably one of the cars for the Hamptons Reserve on the cannonball.

That is correct, it was likely the 4055 or 4061.

Originally, about a dozen cars were set-up to operate a similar level of parlor car and bar car service as the old fleet. The cars had a small bar in the "A" end, luggage racks on the lower level, and numbering for Hampton Reserve service. Over time the permanent bars were removed due to limited usage, the luggage racks were removed, and the seat numbering also removed. The old bar area is now just an empty space in C-3 trailers 4051, 4055, 4061, 4067, and 4071 where they will push a bar cart in.

In the summer on the Cannonball they set it up so that there is one of the 3 cars about mid train and run a bar car and make quite a bit of money (if you can get to it).

Thanks for the answers. I appreciate the details.

So, quick hijack:

I take it that the reserve cars are located mid-consist and not at the ends? Or did I misinterpret?

Head 3 cars eastbound, rear three cars westbound. This year it was (east to west): 4061-4055-4071. "Bar cars" were the 5th car (4051) and 8th car (4067).

Ahh of course. Guess I'll be in the rear of the train when I ride then =P What track usually out of NYP?

Usually on track 19
