I am as big a fan as anyone out there of Amtrak. I've been working outside the country for the last 3 years and not following Amtrak updates. I was thinking of booking 2 sleepers for myself and my family on the Capitol Limited. It would have been the first sleeper experience for two members of my family. Then I found out that Amtrak killed the dining car, and, as far as I'm concerned killed the sleeper. I decided not to book the trips, because I see no point in having the comfort of a sleeper if you're not giving me real food and a real dining car. It is just too insulting and miserable. I wrote to Amtrak to tell them as much. Is there any hope of turning things around? All I see from the US and rail is getting worse and worse. It's so depressing. I will never book a long-distance trip on Amtrak without a proper dining car. So sad to see this.
