If Amtrak could reinstate catered upper end sandwiches, salads, pastries,etc (such as are sold in the NE stations by Au Bon Pain) on Empire Service trains, diners at tables in Amfleet equipment could have decent meals. There is also the precedent on pre Amtrak trains, of ordering from a short menu for to the train delivery at a station ahead. Again, having these (licensed, health inspected, etc) outside caterers show up at a station where the dwell is 5-10 minutes could provide much better food at essentially zero waste as it would be only as ordered. This was feasible in telegraph days; certainly easy w/smart phones. |
