Is there a remote family resemblance?

Amtrak Viewliner Diner

SS Normandie Dining Hall

Wow. If you hadn't labeled the links, I wouldn't be able to tell them apart!

JIS, it might be me, but I think the Normandie is slightly wider, maybe by a few inches.

(on my way to LAX, looking for that French Dip place for dinner tonite..........)

Alan, thank you so much for those wonderful photos! I am so jealous of you, Shanghai and Penny for getting to ride on the inaugural run of the 8400. What a happy coincidence for all of you.

Just a question, and maybe this is because I am a little on the big side, but were the booths very tight? It looks like the aisle is super wide and the booths are barely wide enough for two people to sit next to each other without being in each other's laps. It could also just be the camera angle.

Again, thanks for sharing your photo.

Alan, can you tell me what the stainless fixtures at the apex of the ceiling are? They look like lights, but seem to be far too many of them. AC vents perhaps?

I'm certainly not the best judge of that. However, I did hear a few people suggest that they thought that there might be a bit more room than the booths in some of the other cars.

Those are indeed lights.

Is it still out on the road?

 

[Acela150]

I would certainly hope so. :giggle:

 

[AlanB]

If it's not, there had better be one darn good reason or otherwise I know a certain Amtrak manager who is going to be very upset.

 

[Guestlsa]

Yes it is! I came in from chicago on fri night

I would certainly hope so. :giggle:
