Does anyone think , with the Viewliner 2 Diners being implemented, that the Silver Star will get the diner back?
The SM and Crescent already have them, and the LSL shouldn't be much longer. After that, either Cardinal or SS could be next or it is also possible that neither train will receive new diners.After the SM, Crescent, LSL and maybe the Cardinal get them, only then COULD they possibly return to the SS.
No.Does anyone think , with the Viewliner 2 Diners being implemented, that the Silver Star will get the diner back?
You mean the Silver Meteor?I don't ride the SS anymore when I travel from Tampa to Savannah. I would rather drive an hour to Winter Haven FL to catch the Silver Star, where I can get meal service.
Not that the meals are any good anymore...
You keep saying this as if it were fact, despite the fact that you know nothing of internal Amtrak discussions on the topic.Amtrak ditches the Star’s diner to cut costs - it was not because of equipment (or lack of). The Lake Shore Limited diner is/was considered financially viable, and it was removed solely because of Heritage car shortages.
Which makes bold declarative statements like this one, based on faulty inputs, to be essentially meaningless.Thus, the Lake Shore is definitely gonna be the first train to get its diner back.
Yes, of course. A typo.You mean the Silver Meteor?I don't ride the SS anymore when I travel from Tampa to Savannah. I would rather drive an hour to Winter Haven FL to catch the Silver Star, where I can get meal service.
