Amtrak Superliner Passenger Train Sample Dining Car Menu.

Amtrak has several different menus that they use. The breakfast part of the menu always seems to be the same, but the other parts do change. I've seen menus labeled "Northbound Coast Starlight" and "Southbound Coast Starlight", but when the menus were used did not seem to correspond to the direction in which the train was headed.

Sometimes you may find that the same menu is in use for a very long time and is in use on more than one train route. After my first half dozen trips on Amtrak, I thought they only had one menu for the whole system! But, one time I had to take the Coast Starlight round trip for two consecutive weekends and didn't see the same menu twice in a row. I got to select from four seperate menus during those four one-way trips!

Below is just one sample of the type of menus that you will find on Amtrak. This one is from the eastbound Sunsel Limited.
