[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mr. Toy: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by royaltrain: [qb] ...The Via meals are really good and they seem to have cut quite a bit of expense without sacrificing quality.... ....even in our fast-food world it is possible to make re-heated food both attractive and tasty. I can only hope that Amtrak will come up with something better than what they are currently trying on the Texas Eagle. [/qb][/QUOTE]That's the sort of information I was looking for. It would seem that Amtrak is repeating its 1980s mistake. If you haven't already, I suggest you tell Amtrak what you just told us. I fully agree that food quality is vital to Amtrak's success. I've said it many times before, and I'll say it again. A well fed passenger is a happy passenger. A poorly fed passenger will be cranky and more critical of every little flaw in service. As for the Sunset, it sounds like a combined diner/lounge would end up being uncomfortably crowded. A combined diner/lounge would only seem to work for me where traffic is light, or during the off season. I just didn't want to jump to conclusions. Perhaps we all need to write our Congresscritters about repealing the provisions in the latest appropriations bill that micromanage Amtrak food service from Capitol Hill. That is really the catalyst for all of this. Might mention the National Corridors article was reprinted from Amtrak Ink, an employee newsletter, so it does contain official spin. [/QB][/QUOTE]
