SAR Sheathed Dining Car (Type 2, Side B)         
This dining car, the UMVOTI, has a sheathed wooden body with a tapered roof peak at one end and nine panorama size windows. Dining cars run permanently coupled to kitchen cars with their squared roof peak ends coupled together, and are always positioned in the middle of the train. It is an ex SAR coach that was restored by Rovos Rail, a private luxury passenger train operator with its headquarters at Capital Park in Pretoria. The interior layout was, from the right, an ice box in the corner on the B side, a servery with a passage around it on the A side, and the dining room.
