QUOTE: Originally posted by UPTRAIN That's true, what if you have a catering company out of St. Louis, MO they're to serve breakfast to the train at roughly 8:00 A.M. at the Amtrak Station. Problem: this was 2 weeks ago and the train was running 10 hours late. Are you going to get that catering company to load up and drive to some remote siding in Arkansas south of Little Rock and serve the passengers, because if you don't come up with one close by, you are SOL. Plus, it's probably more expensive, and that's something they are not great at handling currently.
QUOTE: Originally posted by Hugh Jampton Apparantly one clued up passenger on a very late running train had the idea to order a pizza, and have it delivered when the train stopped at the station (he rang a pizzaria in the town he thought the train would be at in half an hour). Well, bellieve it or not when the train pulled into the station there was the pizza delivery kid waiting on the platform. The bloke paid the kid and returned to his seat to eat. The problem is he didn't order enough for everybody and was nearly assaulted by other hungry passengers.

Normally "cheese steak" is traditional in Philadelphia. [swg] Now if they just wanted to serve MRE's the mail hook would work fine.[:0][C=:-)][;)] Probably get a deal on em too.[8][:p]
QUOTE: Originally posted by UPTRAIN How about what they do with tour buses, stop at the McDonalds, lol. Wouldn't that be funny, street running track in the parking lot, on their marquee it says "TRUCKS, BUSES, AND TRAINS WELCOME!". I would sell tickets to see that.
