[quote user="henry6"] We're going around the loop track on this again. Facts: food service has always lost money on moving trains except dining car specific trips; it is a service private railroads used to lure and impress both passenger customers as well as shipper customers; outsourceing has not been successful; each train, each market, needs special attention, no blanket meal will fill the bill; if there is no decent and acceptable food service, then passengers may choose other modes of transportation making a vialbe and attractive food service an advertising feature and not a bottom line extra.  I think that kind of sums up all that has been said and all that can be said at this time. [/quote] Sums it up from your perspective without answering two fundamental questions:  Why should the taxpayers subsidize breakfast, lunch, and dinner or anything in between for its already heavily subsidized passengers? And what is it about Amtrak that makes it immune from testing in a meaningful way an alternative business model. If the moderator want to end the discussion that is his and only his prerogative.
