Calling SPFs -- what diner ran on the 1953 "Pennsy Ltd"?

All I know is it was a lightweight car, which I assume meant modern. I'm wondering if it was one of the D82xR series, which can be bashed out of the KATO UP diner. Or at least close to it.

From the info I have , in 1938 the Liberty Limited had a lightweight diner, in 1943 it had a D78 diner, in mid 1949 the Liberty Limited had a D85dr Kitchen-dormitory and a D85cr diner and  again in 1957 it had a kitchen-dorm and diner.

Sorry, I may not have been clear. The train I'm interested in is #1/2, the 1953 Pennsylvania Limited from Chi to NYC.

My bad.
Train #1 & 2 Pennsylvania Limited in the PRR Makeup of Trains shows nothing but it was a lightweight diner. So it could either could  of been an P82X or a P85a.

You mean D82x or D85a, yes?
