I have ridden the long distance Amtrak train twice in the last seven years. In 1995, I rode the Empire Builder west from Chicago, riding in an economy sleeper. I thought the food was very good. The steak was especially good, with good selections of side dishes. I tried a different selection each time I ate and was never dissappointed. <br />Just two weeks ago, I rode the California Z. from Chicago to San Fransico (again in economy sleeper). The food was not near as good. The steak was mediocre, the potatoes were hard and the veggies seemed like they had been there for some time. The selections for each meal were not as varied, somewhat limited. There was no comparison between what I was served this time to what I had seven years ago. By the end of the trip, I was tired of the food whereas seven years ago, I wanted another meal or two. <br />Also, they ran out of food on this trip, and were unable to serve coffee or tea for the last meal.
