Are there club cars on the Empire Service trains west of Albany and if so is food service available (not the Maple Leaf or Lake Shore Limited)? Thanks very much.

It is my understanding that Empire Service corridor trains (NYP-ALB/Niagara Falls) all utilize a dinette/club car. The club section with its 2-1 seating is used as business class. The cafe is only open on those trains that continue beyond Albany. The other part of the car has the table seating.

Lets do it with numbers,
63,64,68,69,280,281,283,284,290,291

All have café car service, as mentioned above The Adirondack trains 68,69 have a full café while the others utilize half half tables half two and one seating for Custom Class. Dating myself a bit I mean business class.
