<p>[quote user="daveklepper"]</p> <p>Getting back to food service, and the possibiltiy of switching to a Sky-Chefs approach, where elsewhere in the world are fast regular (not nostalgia, museum or deluxe tourist trains) trains operated with the historic dining car approach used on most Amtrak long-distance trains and on the Canadian? Anywhere? [/quote]</p> <p>The Great Southern Railway in Australia has three trains (Indian Pacific, Ghan, and Overland) that offer sit-down dining cars. </p> <p>The Indian Pacific and the Ghan run one or two days a week depending on the season. The Overland runs two days per week. </p> <p>I have ridden all three trains. They attract a significant number of foreign and domestic tourists, but they also get riders from the intermediate stops, especially those in the Outback. Whether they are tourist trains depends on the definition of a tourist train.</p>
