Wow, that menu is great. I'd like to order any number of the entrees.
Depends on how they are heated up!Wow, that menu is great. I'd like to order any number of the entrees.
I recently had the crepes on the Lakeshore Ltd. Much better than the dry omlete and pancakes.Depends on how they are heated up!
Well, I better use my time in New Orleans to stock up on food. I see at least one item in all but one of those dishes which give me reflux. My 75-year-old stomach is rather tender. I think I'll take lunch on board with me, and have the chicken fettucine alfredo for dinner.On the Crescent now.
Nice to eat in the diner instead of spending the whole time in our roomette
We were told this is the first day serving the above menu
19(2) seems to be stuck in Atlanta. 20(2) seems to be stuck in New Orleans. Nothing has been announced by Amtrak including these trains' status. Have they been canceled?

I could be wrong, but I think one contributing factor to turning in Atlanta is Amtrak owns the track siding they park the train sets at Brookwood Station. I think Amtrak bought that siding specifically so they could turn trains in Atlanta. They have owned it for many years.Hide bound Amtrak management would not think of turning the train sets at Meridian or even somewhere else. Make the passengers take the bus all the way to / from ATL.
Meridian is a crew base just like Atlanta.I could be wrong, but I think one contributing factor to turning in Atlanta is Amtrak owns the track siding they park the train sets at Brookwood Station.

Another thing, when they bought the trackage from Atlantic Steel, Amtrak changed crews in Atlanta. It would make sense to turn the train in Atlanta. Also, if you need 10 last minute buses, you can get them in Atlanta. Not so much in Meridian, MS.
When I used to travel the Crescent two or three times a month they moved the crew base from Atlanta to Meridian. That was during the time when the president of the Amtrak board was living in Meridian. At that time they had been using the siding in Atlanta for turning the train for many years.Meridian is a crew base just like Atlanta

Thanks. I was not aware they were doing some stuff out of Atlanta again. For awhile in the early 2000s, there was one in Laurel, MS.Atlanta is still a crew base, as is Meridian.
The next crew base north is Charlotte. So, southbound, the Charlotte crew get off, the Meridian crew, who have layed over from the previous night, get on board. Northbound, the Meridian crew detrain to layover and the Charlotte crew, who have layed over, get on.Thanks. I was not aware they were doing some stuff out of Atlanta again.
