Has anyone had recent experience on how lunch is handled on 449 between Boston and Albany for sleeping car passengers? And how about how dinner is handled on 448 between Albany and Boston?
Are some flexible dining meals carried in the café car on these trains for sleeping car passengers? Or do sleeping car passengers order items from the café car menu?
It used to be five or six years ago that the café car on 448 and 449 would carry some selections solely for sleeping car passengers but that became quite inconsistent in the days of the extended stub train service. As I recall on the extended stub train service most of the time sleeping car passengers who were travelling by sleeper west of Albany ordered off the café car menu. I recall one trip on the 449 stub train sleeping car passengers got a sandwich, chips and soda but on the return trip on 448 they got a sandwich and soda but were denied chips.
We were bustituted between Albany and Boston on our Chicago - Boston trip last May. Didn't even have time to go to the coffee shop in Albany but were given a small bag of peanuts and some crackers on the bus for dinner.
