WASHINGTON, April 19, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Amtrak
will offer contemporary and fresh dining choices for sleeping car
customers, instead of traditional dining car service, embarking
aboard its Capitol Limited and Lake Shore Limited
trains starting June 1.
Sleeping car customers will choose meals delivered to their
Bedrooms or Roomettes – or eaten in a private café or lounge car –
and entrees such as:
- Lunch & Dinner: Chilled beef tenderloin, Vegan wrap,
Chicken Caesar salad, or Turkey
club sandwich.
- Breakfast: Assorted breakfast breads with butter, cream cheese
and strawberry jam; Greek yogurt and sliced seasonal fresh fruit
plate.
These meals will continue to be included in the sleeping car
fare and are delivered to the trains just prior to origination,
eliminating on-board preparation. Customers will also be offered
unlimited soft beverages, a complimentary serving of beer, wine or
a mixed-drink and an amenity kit. A Kosher meal continues to
be available with advance notice.
"Our plan is to provide new and fresh food choices in a
contemporary way for these overnight trains," said Bob Dorsch, Vice President of the Amtrak Long
Distance Service Line. "Our continued success depends on increasing
customer satisfaction while becoming more efficient."
Dorsch said this enhancement will continue to be refined and we
look forward to hearing from our customers.

between Washington, D.C., and
Chicago, via Pittsburgh and Cleveland. The Lake Shore
Limited (Trains 48 & 49) typically operates daily
between Chicago and New York, with a section to and from
