Well it's not a dining car. They don't want people standing around long

How long is the full route for that train and is it intended for commuters or for 'travelers'

Cascades is a state supported route that runs Eugene-Portland-Seattle-Vancouver Officially Amtrak doesn't do commuter service, but like... *looks at Hiawatha* come on...

Acela's the train for when you want to get somewhere fast.

I mean, yes, but it still seem like... underutilized space. Austere.

I'm struggling to find pictures that show this... the Amfleets came in several varieties & have been refurbed over the years, so it's hard to tell which pics are of the current configuration.
