They probably decided they wanted nothing to do with Amtrak and don't want there name tarnished by an association with them.

Mineta claimed his sandwich was cold when he got and fired them, none of his Yes men bothered to tell him deli sandwiches are made that way.

Seriously, I wonder if their were logistical issues or if it was as simple as sales being no where near what they expected during that 1st week so they cut and run before really getting hosed.

Have fun with your trains

Looks like "Reform" might be easier said than done.

A Subway franchise made a deal with Amtrak to do a four month pilot project to provide their menu items on the Amtrak Empire Service Trains running from NYC to upstate New York. For reasons not divulged, the project was cancelled after one week.

This article reprinted on the UTU web site breaks the story.
