Folks: Was this on a timetable, brouchure, year, any other info? What was/is the 'Hamptons Reserve'?
Thank you.

It's a reserved-seat service on the first 3 cars of the Cannon Ball during the summer, and includes bar and snack cart service. The image is an online promotion from the late 2000s - if you'd like to find an image that was posted before online, you can use Google Images to find it in the futureGood point. Thank you for the date as I couldn't locate that via images.

After the real parlor cars were all gone, all the Railroad had left to sell the Hamptons crowd were reserved seats, single serving gin bottles and crackers. The "Hamptons Reserve" program was an effort to market that minimal accommodation to a crowd that was more accustomed to the luxury of traditional parlor car service. You won't find that on Google.Thank you as you have grasped my original intent.

PRR #120, owned then by George Pins, plus two other private cars bring up the rear of Train #12, The Advance Cannonball, on July 20, 1975. #12
was Mr. Mac's train and personally greeted George and the other PV owners when the train was loading at Hunterspoint Avenue.
