Yes, use of brand new VII-Diners as axle count cars and the reluctance to assign them to 50-51 - Cardinal and 91-92 - Silver Star, does seem a waste.
But evidently, the passenger volume on both is of level that only one Food Service car with one LSA assigned is deemed adequate.
Now when the V-II Sleepers are finally delivered and the planned conversion of the V-I's to the V-II configuration, AND assuming all are placed in revenue service, there could well be requirement for additional F&B service.
