This is an item I put on another thread. I am intentionally "quoting myself" here, since this discussion evidently has a large following:
This sounds interesting. The email is quoted verbatim.............
(Note, the trip we are taking is correctly stated)
"We have exciting news to share with you about your upcoming trip on [Trains 51 and 50] to White Sulphur Springs WV.
"Starting October 1 we will be debuting a new dining experience aboard your train --- made exclusively available for Sleeping
car customers. Here is what you can expect when you are onboard:
" - A new dining menu with hot, ready to serve choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner
- A wide selection of wine, beer and spirits (The first one is on us) plus unlimited soft drinks
throughout your journey

- Exclusive onboard lounge space for sleeping car customers to dine and socialize 24x7

Well, should we be as excited as the email says? Also, I was wondering, is this service upgrade unique to The Cardinal ?
