One of the last of the big railway coaches, called "Baptist Chapel Cars," the one that had been sitting on a Great Northern siding in Everett for three years, was to be converted into a restaurant. Tthis was one of 15 green coaches designed for mission work that John D. Rockefeller, Ccharles Colby and other financiers had purchased for the Baptist Church about 1875. These cars followed the railroad as it pushed west setting up missions along the way. "Baptist Chapel Car" was purchased by Stanley Noland, 3605 Broadway, who had the wheels taken off and the car body trucked to the Everett–Snohomish highway about a mile south of Cavalero's corner, where he was converting the coach into a roadside cafe.
