While food served in the dining cars of the great railroads may have lacked the excellence of a 4-star restaurant, the dining experience was unmatched. The scenery, eating en route, sitting with other passengers, all contributed to a delightful repast. Here is a history of railroad food and the development and operation of the dining car, and 200 pages of recipes. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, OR.
