If that were true the Meteor would be full further out than the Star.

TRADITIONAL DINING ON SILVER METEOR AND SILVER STAR
Amtrak now offers traditional dining for First Class private room customers aboard the Silver Meteor and Silver Star.
The addition of this popular service will feature several dining enhancements—including chef-prepared meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner; table service with glassware, cutlery and white linen tablecloths; vegetarian and vegan menu options; selections for the kids and a complimentary alcoholic drink with dinner.
Traditional dining will be offered as an exclusive, complimentary amenity for customers traveling in First Class private rooms.

A "guest" in a commercial establishment, such as a hotel room, short term paid parking lot, and similar, and likely a similar concept in regard to a railroad passenger, does not enter into a lease agreement. The "guest" receives a "license" for the accommodation, subject to the terms and conditions including disclaimers, and these often contain a provision for termination at will by the licensor. State laws on this subject vary somewhat, and add federal law into the mix, but generally this is how these matters work.

It is of interest that the Amtrak propagandists have moved towards the airline term of "customer" for passenger, and definitely away from the Warrington Gang's term of guest.
I was always concerned that "guest" was a legal term (and I certainly defer to our barristers around here on this) defining a contractual relationship. For example, a Landlord must give a tenant "reasonable notice" that he wishes to enter a leased premises, and can only remove that tenant short of a lease's expiration by judicial action known as eviction. On the other hand, with a Guest, that landlord known as an Innkeeper, can enter the Guest's premises on demand and also do same with the Guest's removal (eviction).
But somehow, those around here who were active during the W-Gang's years, knew they had their way with being loose with reality.
