I've travelled in Israel by rail both in 2015 and 2016. I'll post a bunch of pictures by way of links to flickr soon.
Rail travel in Israel is basic, but clean and comfortable. They use European rolling stock, both single and bi-level. Diesel is the primary power, especially on between Haifa, Tel Aviv, and Jerusalem. In addition, travel between Jerusalem and Modi'in is Diesel powered.
There's wi-fi. It's great in the stations, not always great on the road, but it's there
I've not encountered food service aboard, but almost every station has some form of fast food (for them, for Americans it's a notch or two above... one time, I got an orange juice, I watched the juice machine squeeze my oranges!).
Photos to follow... lots of photos.
