Somebody that knows may be able to say for sure, but I think the trains are only stocked at the beginning of the journey. In some cases , only at the beginning of the outward trip for both legs.

The old ways of doing business - a full service dining car and chefs and waiters - harkens back to the golden days of rail travel but it makes no sense today. The thrifty folks who ride Amtrak bring their own food to eat at their seats. Those who want to splurge on dining cars meals are often disappointed in the quality of fare. Amtrak should follow the lead of the airlines and end onboard food service. traditionalists will moan but Anderson is facing the realities of today. No US airline today provides Pan Am level food service Circa 1960 and Amtrak should stop its attempts at good service aka the Santa Fe in the 1950s.
..all aspects of its Food and Beverage operations, including management of its warehouse operations ON BOARD ITS TRAINS and in support of its intercity train operations.....

Well, Mr. Anderson succeeded with a "de-cert" of several Northwest crafts on Delta such as Attendants, so I guess it's time to try it out on Amtrak.
This could be war!!
