[QUOTE]Originally posted by yukon11: [QB] The US DOT, back in 2005, did a analysis of how to reduce costs and amenities on Amtrak trains. From the report: "There are a number of options that should be explored that may provide food service for passengers at no net cost to Amtrak. Options for reducing costs for food service through initiatives or prototype test projects on several long-distance routes could include raising food prices, outsourcing, having passengers obtain meals in stations during regular stops, distributing boxed meals that have been prepared off the train, selling packaged food from carts on the trains, or redesigning the lounge cars so that they generate sufficient revenues to offset costs". ********************* Why couldn't Amtrak consider some of the above before deciding upon the cold box Purina beef on toast fare? The new box meal choices sound a lot like the fodder handed out on Amtrak #28, the last time I took it. I do think it's the opening shot for dismantling the LD trains, and they are progressing famously. Richard [/QB][/QUOTE]
