91's cafe car carries Mug rootbeer. 79's does not. Why not? Aren't they both resupplied in Sunnyside?

State supported services usually means the states can call the shots. I don't know the details when it comes to percentages. In other words, the Lynchburger and the Night Owl are state supported services SOUTH of Washington DC. Passengers boarding at any point and traveling south of WAS are considered passengers of the state supported service. North of Washington DC, it is not considered state supported and falls into the national network (specifically, the NEC service group.) In a case like that, I'm not sure who calls what shots. I would think they just base their decisions largely upon what the state requests.Yes, the Carolinian is partially funded by NCDOT. I personally don't know if that makes a difference. I was also wondering whether the Carolinian is also supplied in Charlotte and the Star in Miami. Maybe that has something to do with it. Or is all provisioning of those two trains done in Sunnyside?

I had the same question on the Missouri River Runner trains a few years ago. The lounge attendant said because it was a state route some of the products are different than the LD trains. Think the Downeaster falls into a similar category.91's cafe car carries Mug rootbeer. 79's does not. Why not? Aren't they both resupplied in Sunnyside?

The name has been dropped from the timecard, but 66/67 still runs...The Night Owl? Did we just step into a time-warp?State supported services usually means the states can call the shots.

The York Street Market fresh food (salads, sandwiches and wraps) on 91/92 are loaded in Sunnyside for the roundtrip. Miami tops up the shared items carried on the Meteor and Star (snacks, beverages, pizza, comfort kits, etc.)In any rate, none of that has to do with the Carolinian. It is supplied in Sunnyside and turns in CLT. 91 is supplied in Sunnyside and 92 is supplied in Miami.Yes, the Carolinian is partially funded by NCDOT.

Different menus. 91/92 operate with National LD menu and 79 (as well as 89) operate with NEC cafe menu.Okay, what doesn't make sense is that Mug is on 91/92 but not on 79/80 since Pepsi was created in North Carolina.
