I think ordering a pizza sounds like fun!!!! Go for it
Last time I rode the Texas Eagle, at least one enterprising guy hawked hot pizza on the San Antonio platform.As for a better station to try this you could use SAS on the LA to Chicago TE. The scheduled stop is 8 1/2 hours. Plenty of time to go out to eat all the pizza you want.
She wasn't there on the day my TE train stopped in ELP last fall. Many of us were disappointed.And don't forget the Burrito Lady who greets the westbound Sunset Limited at ELP. She gets swamped with pax and crew and often sells out before she can get everyone served.
Tell me about it. I love those burritos. And I'll love Aramark meals the day they can bring themselves up to the culinary sophistication of a sidewalk hawker.And don't forget the Burrito Lady who greets the westbound Sunset Limited at ELP.

Considering that San Antonio is the end of the line for most Eagle passengers I'm not sure why they'd be in need of at-track food service. Or am I misunderstanding the situation?Last time I rode the Texas Eagle, at least one enterprising guy hawked hot pizza on the San Antonio platform.
I haven't. Then again, thousands of Chinese laborers were worked to the bone to help deliver the rail network we take for granted today.anyone had chinese delived to a train
Because Texas Eagle also carries Sunset Limited passengers who have to wait several hours in San Antonio before they can be latched up on westbound Sunset or transfer to eastbound Sunset? Plenty opportunity to serve a midnight meal to bored passengers.Considering that San Antonio is the end of the line for most Eagle passengers I'm not sure why they'd be in need of at-track food service.

Many times the Vermonter crew gets Chinese delivered to the train in Randolph, VT. The usually call in the order around White River Jct and the restaurant runs it over to the train station. Never seen a passenger order food to the train, though.I haven't.

When I rode the Eagle to L.A. last fall, one coach and one sleeper overnighted in San Antonio to await the Sunset Limited the next morning. The pizza guy arrived after San Antonio-destination passengers had cleared the area. Both the sleeper and coach were sold out, and there were a number of people waiting inside the station. My guess is that they had been unable to book a CHI-LAX trip on the Eagle and had to leave the SAS coach and wait for the Sunset Limited. So there were plenty of customers.Considering that San Antonio is the end of the line for most Eagle passengers I'm not sure why they'd be in need of at-track food service.

I think you would need to prepay at a place for them to take you seriously. I would approach it as calling ahead of time ( a few weeks before). Probably not a chain but a private place would be better. Order for a certain day, get a price, and send them a money order (with a good tip) ahead of time. Promise them an additional tip on delivery. Tell them on the phone and with the payment that you will call an hour before delivery time to confirm the order. I would expect that you would end up paying $50 at least for a pizza.Pizza Delivery UpdateECLINED! EVEN OFFERED $20 TIP!!!
Tried to do delivery to train 91 in Richmond VA on Sunday. Guy who answered phone wouldn't do it he wanted a physical residential address. He said only way he could do it was if I was a station employee working at a fixed location in the station........Have no fear, Meat Puppet is here... and he will get his pizza delivered to his train with full video documentation.
Some chain Pizza places allow ordering and payment by credit card on line or by phone...you should be able to do that with one that is reasonably close to a selected station stop just prior to arrival time.....just be sure they realize they must be waiting on the platform when the train arrives....maybe tell them what color shirt you are wearing or something...
Would you take a measly $20 in exchange for a chance to become the next Brian Douglas Wells?Pizza Delivery UpdateECLINED! EVEN OFFERED $20 TIP!!!
