I just noticed some new menu updates on the Amtrak website. Several of the routes are listed as going Eastbound/Northbound. I wonder how long it will take until they see the mistake?
What mistake? There's a separate menu for Westbound/Southbound. Recently we were discussing how the French Toast is not available in both directions on some trains, so now they have menus to reflect this. This is a good thing, IMO.I just noticed some new menu updates on the Amtrak website. Several of the routes are listed as going Eastbound/Northbound.

If it's not a mistake, then it's unnecessarily confusing. The word "eastbound" does not ever need to be associated with the CONO, which is as north-south a route as youWhat mistake?

So, should they have said Odd Number Train and Even Number Train?If it's not a mistake, then it's unnecessarily confusing.

can get. Same with the Coast Starlight.
I guess I don't really understand your point. If you look at the Amtrak Menu website, you see a list of menus for some of the trains in the Amtrak system.So, should they have said Odd Number Train and Even Number Train?
If I were heading north on the CONO or the CS, then I hope I would know to look at the Eastbound/Northbound and not the Westbound/Southbound.
The CZ's Westbound/Southbound...no French Toast for you . :blush:Yeah, that is messed up.
So I am on the CZ WESTBOUND, what menu should I look at? The National?
I may very well be missing it, but I do not see a listing for the CZ Westbound/Southbound.The CZ's Westbound/Southbound...no French Toast for you . :blush:Yeah, that is messed up.

Sure enough. Kinda dumb to not list all the menus on the menu page.Ok, I now see that they don't have all of the menus posted on the "Menus at a glance" page, but they do have both menus listed on the route pages.
Well, it does say "at a glance", which to me means a sampling, but I agree since they are different...which is another good reason to give them different names (Eb/Nb - Wb/Sb).Sure enough.

I think they may be updating things one page at a time. Earlier today I couldn't access the CL's menu from it's route page, but now I can...and it is a new menu. No crabcakes, but now French Toast instead of pancakes.That looks like an unfinished page that got published by mistake.
There's also only one menu listed for the Eastbound/Northboundtrains - no rotating choice.
I posted on Amtrak's FB page, we'll see if there's a response.
That's because the CZ goes SOUTHBOUND between SLC and Helper (UT) and beyond at mealtime!printman2000 said:1337708039[/url]' post='368788']I may very well be missing it, but I do not see a listing for the CZ Westbound/Southbound.AmtrakBlue said:1337707918[/url]' post='368787']The CZ's Westbound/Southbound...no French Toast for you . :blush:printman2000 said:1337707115[/url]' post='368779']Yeah, that is messed up.

I really enjoy the Roast Duck when they have it.So can anyone recommend a good diner choice on the southwest chief ?
Not to mention a few Adult Beverages!! :lol: :lol: :lol: (and I know you always save room for a Lamb Dip @ Phillipes!!! :wub: )I really enjoy the Roast Duck when they have it.So can anyone recommend a good diner choice on the southwest chief ?
Adult beverages - you bet, the Lamb Dip part is just piling it on :lol: now i'm jonesing for one. :help: Thanks :lol:Not to mention a few Adult Beverages!! :lol: :lol: :lol: (and I know you always save room for a Lamb Dip @ Phillipes!!! :wub: )I really enjoy the Roast Duck when they have it.So can anyone recommend a good diner choice on the southwest chief ?
is the steak any good ?I really enjoy the Roast Duck when they have it.So can anyone recommend a good diner choice on the southwest chief ?
Yes, the steak is good, and it is my default selection when the duck is off the menu. Currently it seems to be a strip steak, although a couple of months ago on a trip they had the flat iron steak, an old favorite of mine, as long as isn't the braised version.is the steak any good ?I really enjoy the Roast Duck when they have it.So can anyone recommend a good diner choice on the southwest chief ?
Agreed, except when you get a chef who cooks it wrong. Even then, not bad, but can get tough when overcooked.Yes, the steak is good, and it is my default selection when the duck is off the menu.
