I didn’t know it was gone. That was the best part of a train trip and without it, it wouldn’t be worth it.

Amtrak soon will be introducing a dementia-safe car, named the “Joe Biden.”

IF things go according to brandon’s plans, there will be a need for a lot more dining cars. EVERYBODY rides the train. Pretty obvious they have ZERO clue and have NOT looked at a map of the United States. EVER! Butt, millions of cars off the road. Get on the trains peons............... Next stop, vaccintration camp.

The dining car is incredible. Nothing like it.

This is hilarious. The reason feeding people on these trains was stopped was because the cost of doing business far outweighed any return. Food service was totally subsidized.

Back in my day, the food was terrible and overpriced by many times, but it was all there was.

Trains means close the suburbs and move to the urban housing projects. Trust me, you will be happy.

Lol me either. I assumed they always had one. It helps to pass the time and folks to enjoy their trip more.

What they should have on the trains is a chic filet, or Popeyes, or something. Surprised that Marc Wahlburg hasn’t done a deal to have a wahlburgers resterajnt on the train lol

Wow...the move back to trains. Sort of like Atlas Shrugged. Is that where they are taking us? (Rhetorical question)

DOH! High rises and no need for the unclean to continue to destroy the planet by driving around as if they’re free to do so or something. Mrs rktman saw that up close when she went to Armenia in ‘92 to help try to teach about business start ups and how to be a business person. CRAZY! Intermittent power and water. Crushed infrastructure as the soviet union fell apart.

I’ve taken the Empire Builder from Seattle to Chicago more than eight times and they always had a dining car with nice service (2016 to COVID shutdown).

When the government runs things, they automatically inflate the prices.

Nixon had no excuse to not deregulate the railroads instead of creating Amtrak.
