[quote user="CMStPnP"] [quote user="DwightBranch"] See how ridiculous and obtuse this argument is? That is why those of us who support food service as an accompaniment to passenger travel think the arguments of the opponents are disingenuous, that you just oppose Amtrak in general and are grasping at straws to try to end it. <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] Well unlike most of the posters here I do ride Amtrak LD and average about once a year.    I'll ride the Texas Eagle up to Chicago and back for Christmas from Dallas.   Believe it or not my Airline FF miles are used for both the rail fare and the sleeper accomodations, so I usually pay little cash or nothing at all.      I think they should keep the LD trains but I think the Food Service loss is ridiculous and while I might be able to look the other way if it was a small gap.   This is a huge gaping hole in Amtraks subsidy that should be filled with better management. [/quote] I too am a frequent train traveler.  To date this year I have taken the Eagle from Temple to Dallas (3), and Temple to San Antonio (2).  I have ridden the Pacific Surfliner from Anaheim to San Diego (2) and Anaheim to Los Angeles (2).  Also, I have taken the Coast Starlight from Los Angeles to San Francisco and the Silver Star from Jacksonville to Miami.  I support passengers trains by ridding them.  Having said that, if I were in charge, I would discontinue the long distance trains in a minute and focus the resources on short corridor trains. How do you use your frequently flyer miles on Amtrak.  I have Southwest miles, and I am a Guest Rewards member?
