Sample Amtrak Dining Car Dinner Menus
http://www.trainweb.com/travel/general/menu.html
Below are some sample dining car dinner menus from Amtrak's long-distance trains. They are in
all capital letters because they have been extracted from Amtrak's ARROW Reservations &
Information system, which by default does not use lower case letters. These menus are current
as of July, 2001, but are, of course, subject to change. Use this page as a rough guide to
see what to expect on board Amtrak's dining cars in terms of selection and price, keeping in
mind that meals are included for sleeping car guests! We wish to extend a thank you to Gene
Poon for providing the information on this page.
