Down but not out

Glad to hear that things are on the upswing. Hope things continue to improve rapidly.

Jeeze, I remember the days when a train on a "longish" route like that would have had an honest-to-Pete dining car with chefs and liveried waiters and pretty darn good food. <<sigh>>

Comparing the hospital food that I had to the 'fare' they had on in the 'Cafe Car' would be like comparing thumbscrews to bamboo shoots under your fingernails.

Was not that far back when we took the Amtrak Superliner to Colorado, the dining car was fabulous and our bedroom quite comfortable.
