Lately I have ridden the Texas Eagle and the Capitol Limited, not to mention my first ride on the Acela from DC to Philadelphia and back to DC. <br /> <br />The food on the diners were okay, not great, but good. About as good as any Dennys. However, on the return trip on the Capitol Limited the diner was put out of service by the health inspectors:the refrigerators were not keeping the food cold enough. Nevertheless, Amtrak provided the sleeping car passengers a chicken dinner provided by a local take out chicken restaurant in Cumberland, Md. At least the fried chicken provided a different selection. <br /> <br />I must add that the Acela train ran on time both ways, and the speed was fast compared to the slow speeds of the Superliners. It is strange how the Capitol Limited ran mostly on time while the Texas Eagle is still having Union Pacific dispatcher problems. How a passenger train can lose 2 hours in North Little Rock, the mainbase of the old Missouri Pacific railroad, in the middle of long stretches of double mainline track is beyond me? I counted six freight trains that got the green light before we did.
