Hello Everyone,

It is an honor to be among those of you who make our nation's passenger railroad work everyday and every night. My family and I are true believers in the full-service crew travel experience. It is the only way we could ever travel long-haul.

Everyone I have spoken with on East Coast trains are VERY CONCERNED AND WORRIED ABOUT THIS DINER LITE and SO ARE WE !

Isn't it the full-service experience that brings long-haul guests to favor train travel above all other means of transport ? In my opinion, full-service travel plays a key role.

I look forward to meeting people and making new friends here !

Thank you so very much.

Respectfully,

"FightDinerLite" :p :) :D B)

We're happy to have you on board here. :) However, I will tell you that the vast majority of us do not work for Amtrak. There are a few employees and former employees who are members here. But again, the vast majority of us are just fans of Amtrak. We have banned together here to discuss Amtrak and to try and help guide those who are taking their first trip on Amtrak.
 
Thank you very much,

Just to clarify, I am NOT an Amtrack Employee, just someone whos family travels on the trains who loves full-service dining. DinerLite is a scary thing to many Amtrack employees I am finding. Why can't Heritage dining cars be restored ?

Welcome to the site. You bring up some interesting points that have been thrown around since the first frozen SDS or dinner-lite meal was served to many passengers over a year ago. Amtrak forgot to tell their employees just how to cook their new menus. Personally, I feel that the dining experience will never be the same. There is a joint venture that will give you rail service as it was 50 years ago. I believe it will be cars attached to one of the Florida service trains during "Snow-bird" season. This experiment is yet to be tried as this is a new venture and was just recently announced. There will be other route as well but the price tag will be prohibitive for the non-Trumps amongst us.

Recently,I was standing in JFK recently during a thunderstorm. The "temporary" quarters of highly successful Jet Blue was overflowing with those that wanted to save a nickel or two. This seems to be the mind set of today's traveller save for those who are trying to preserve Amtrak.
