Dining CarMost long-distance trains include a full-service Dining Car, which serves hot meals prepared onboard by trained chefs for breakfast, lunch and dinner. All meals for First Class passengers, passengers with sleeping accommodations, and all Auto Train passengers (no matter which class you're traveling) are included in the price of their train ticket. Coach Class passengers may dine for an additional charge.Hours of operation of food service cars vary depending on train operation. Credit cards (MasterCard, American Express, Visa and Discover) are accepted for payment in Dining Cars on all trains that offer food service.Reservations in the Dining CarPassengers are asked to make reservations for lunch and dinner. Reservations are taken in 15-minute increments for a more pleasant dining experience, assuring passengers of receiving quality service from Amtrak staff and preventing the Dining Cars from becoming overcrowded during peak meal times.After boarding, a dining car staff member will go through the train asking passengers to select a preferred time for dining. Reservations are taken during each meal's service hours, except for breakfast. Passengers will be seated as they present themselves at the dining car. If the dining car is full, names will be taken, and passengers will be called in order from the lounge.

我坐的是Miami到New York的Amtrak，一共在餐车上吃了四顿饭，餐饮质量还可以的，就是一般大街上的小店水准，价格也差不多，如果要求高当然会有点失望，但是旅途上看着风景，还是可以的。吃饭要提前找服务生预订位子，然后会来喊你。

餐飲不錯，三文治，披薩，沙律都有。cafe 內有微波爐。飲料選擇豐富。也可自帶，沒人管，只要不太重味道就可以。帶些堅果零食。

可以自带食物，车上也有，但是就是汉堡很三明治这些，长时间你不一定吃得惯。

我从new haven坐到纽约，没有发现有餐食啊，感觉就是随上随下类似公交的火车
