I am traveling on train 5 this week from Chicago to Reno and was wondering service hours of the dining car. I was told that sleeper car passengers can reserve dining times in advance. Is this correct?
For dinner, yes. Although the procedure can vary from train to train, and even crew to crew, most commonly your sleeping car attendant will offer you several sittings for dinner. You can choose time one you want. Then, you head to the dining car when your sitting is called (or just head down at the time since the PA systems are not always working).deoghi said:I am traveling on train 5 this week from Chicago to Reno and was wondering service hours of the dining car.

If I remember correctly, I believe the Coast Star*LATE* is one of the trains that offers seating every 15 minutes. I wonder if the seatings always run late, like the train itself always does?!battalion51 said:Most trains offer three seatings for dinner, 5:00, 6:30, and 8:00. Then there are some trains that offer more flexible times. AlanB has seen trains where they seatings every 15 minutes, so it just depends on the crew.
Yes, they've been known to call an 8:00 seating at, say, 8:30. It all depends on how the service was on the previous seatings, and how quickly they can clean up and prepare for the next group.jccollins said:If I remember correctly, I believe the Coast Star*LATE* is one of the trains that offers seating every 15 minutes.

IMHO if somewhat goes wrong on a train it is usually half as bad as with other transportation.Superliner Diner said:I can't wait to finish the report so you can all understand just how bad things were! <_<
