Again, to folks who are saying the dinging car was intentionally as cold as I noted for my first dinner, having had 5 meals in it now, I have to beg to differ.
All 4 of the other meals were cold, but not frigid. I highly suspect the first meal was an anomaly.
Anyway, on the way back it was 60013, I believe Hartford.
The meals overall were far better. I give credit to the cook. A good cook can make the difference between WAY overcooked greenbeans (dinner on the way down) and nearly perfect (on the way back). And the cheesecake and pudding this time didn't taste like they had been thawed/frozen multiple times (nor have the texture like that.)
I have two thoughts about the new Viewdiners:
I like them a LOT better, but the empty poster frames need some posters and someway to personalize each car. They're very functional, open, airy and comfortable, but devoid of any possibility. One I idea I had was to allow each state to pay a fee to personalize their "capital car" each year.
The 2nd is, I didn't understand until now the way they're handling ADA compliance. There appear to be what I'm going to say 10.5 tables. 10 tables with 2x2 Across seating and then 1 table with 2 abreast seating but no bench across from it. This is the ADA compliant table (though I didn't see any "lock-down" points, but I may have missed them).
The spot where table 12 was in older cars was used for storage, etc. I thought the ADA compliance still somehow having 12 tables with room for a wheelchair. Not a huge issue, but, tying this back to the other complaints, it would seem to me that making the area for table 12 a "work area" with more storage probably makes sense.
I did not see any table fully occupied (at least during dinner) by crew or table prep stuff. So there were 11 full (well 10.5 + ADA compliance) tables available.
