The interior of a LIRR bar car, which appears to be either one of the former Bangor & Aroostook cars or one of the B&M coaches converted to a bar car. The style of clothing suggest this photo was taken in the 1960s or 1970s. Dave Keller, who worked as a LIRR Special Services Attendant in parlor cars and bar cars during this era, indicates the passengers were very generous with their tips.
