XOTower, I disagree with alot about what you wrote in regards to Amtrak’s food service. The reason the food service suffers isn’t from Amtrak, its from John Mica from Florida and other politicians who get their noses in Amtrak affairs. Attacks on the cost of food service has been an ongoing problem for decades. At one time Amtrak cooks went to culinary schools, china and silver were put on the tables instead of plastic utensils, and there were speciality items in the menu for almost all the long distance trains. Now with constant government interference and intensive pressure to reduce dining and lounge car costs…the results are there before you now. B******* about food service directly aimed at Amtrak doesn’t fly. Here is hoping that the new diners will bring back some civility to dining car service and the federal government allows the viewliner diners to bring back upgraded menu selections and service that travelers will accept.
I don’t see how you can cite government interference, when essentially Amtrak is a government entity.

You mean ‘post repeating dead-horse topics from redundant threads on food’, right?
