And the AT last time I checked.
The menu is unique, and isn't posted anywhere online. Food is served on plastic or styrofoam plates. The last time I was on the Auto Train, the drink options were iced tea, water, or wine -- no soft drinks. Coach has its own dining and lounge cars that are not shared with sleeper passengers.

Drinks were soft drinks, wine, milk, water, tea... pretty much whatever you wanted. As it has always been in my experiences on the AT. Served on real china, a real tablecloth, and real glasses for the wine. I've never been into the coach diner at meal time, so I'm not sure what it's like. The coach menu didn't look as good.
