[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by PaulB: [qb]The Empire Builder and Auto Train are the exceptions to Simplified Dining. They are supposed to still have real china and glasses, as well as use a traditional menu pre-Simplified Dining. That means steaks, pancakes, and eggs are still on the menu, and there are still 2-3 personnel in the kitchen instead of just 1. [/qb][/QUOTE]Actually Paul Scannergeek,the beef dish offered on the AT is Beef Tournedoes (served on ceramicware, with glassware, metal flatware, and 'comp, yet drinkable' Virginia varietals) in a red wine sauce. Very good last time I had it. The Coach class fare is casseroles such as lasagna. AT breafast for both classes is quite simplified; a Continental Breakfast consisting of rolls, orange juice and coffee. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mr. Toy: [qb]So what makes the Empire Builder and Auto Train so special? Answer: They are getting all of the political attention. The Auto train is popular with the east coast retirees who mostly vote Republican, and the Empire Builder has better political backing from the states it serves, particularly Montana.[/qb][/QUOTE]Somehow, Mr. Toy, it seems most of the Bennie-Caddy-Lex crowd aboard AT when I ride, is from Blue States. I've done so fifteen times over the years, and it always looks to me as if my auto is the only one with tags away from the NEC states - excepting of course Florida (of which the East Coast really is just an outpost of the Corridor).
