Dining Car

Sometime recently I was sitting around lamenting that I did not take a picture of dining car service back when I rode some trains in the mid-1970s. This was when Amtrak was a little more than five years old. I then ran across this rather weak example amongst my slides.

We’re riding a southbound Amtrak Floridian in northern Indiana, somewhere between the state line and Lafayette at this point, not that it matters. We’re on the Louisville & Nashville, former Monon.

This shot was made between meals of course, but it’s most likely the only record I have of how nice the tables were laid out, with white tablecloths, real china and silverware, fresh flowers. I don’t really know how nice the service is these days—it may be somewhat similar on the long distance Amtrak trains of today, but I’m not certain.
