According to this commercial:
Amtrak used to have a hospitality hour. Does anyone remember it?

On my last trip north on the CS, I went down to watch the "One Hundred Foot Journey". There was one couple down there with their young child.It mentions movies! Has anyone gone downstairs in the PPC to watch a movie?
Was the drink mixed from the cafe below or did they use the currently abandoned food prep area on the top floor?I fondly remember the Hospitality Hours when some kind of theme drink was specially priced and bowls of snackies were laid out in the SSL. I also recall taped music would play in the Superliner Diner, but more often than not the tape deck would hang up and drag, making it sound more like a cacophony of neighborhood cats.
Well "Live TV" within coverage area sounds like the the old days version of modern trying to find wifi signal while moving on the train.Those "Hospitality Hours" were very nice, but they pale in comparison to what the former Seaboard Coastline RR offered on their premier winter season train, the "Florida Special" between New York and Miami....
In their 'Recreation Car", you could watch live TV when within a coverage area, watch movies, play bingo, go shopping, and....see a live "fashion show" of the latest Jantzen swimsuits, while you enjoyed drinks and snacks! In addition, they sometimes had live music and dancing, and 'horse racing' gambling games. It varied thru the years dating back to its ACL origins...
At least TV signals have a much larger broadcast area than wi-fi signals!Well "Live TV" within coverage area sounds like the the old days version of modern trying to find wifi signal while moving on the train.
