I found this fascinating old black and white photo on the Flickr site. (It has been uploaded by that venerable institution, the Library of Congress)

If you click on the above link you will see that the image was taken between 1910 and 1915, in East Prussia. It shows some of the cast members of a Ballet Russe touring production of "Daughter of the Regiment" being served afternoon tea by the friendly rail staff.
This snap recalls a wonderful train excursion I once took via Countrylink to Bathurst; the joys of the buffet car...the world class cafe au lait and scones. NSW Railways at the top of its game.
This is a really good photo! I like that image archives like these are becoming more accessible through the internet.
