You are correct.  Most of Amtrak's passenger don't travel in the NEC, although a significant percentage of them do.  And most of the others travel in the other short corridors, i.e. California and Chicago. The long distance trains with their dinning and lounge cars carry only 14.9 per cent of Amtrak's passengers. As stated in many postings, I would do away with the long distance trains.  That would leave only the corridor trains, where passenger rail makes sense, and where a different food service model, if any, would be more appropriate. As an aside, the Arizona Department of Transportation, in conjunction with Phoenix and Tucson, is planning a commuter rail operation between Arizona's two largest cities.  The distance between the two is approximately 110 miles.  I doubt on-board food service will be an issue.  This is the type of corridor that makes sense.
