    Hi, I hope you could answer a question for me about the Silver Meteor. We will be getting on the train at 6:35PM in Jesup, Ga heading to NYC. Do you know if we will be served dinner? Thanks for any help you might provide.

    1. Kev

      In cases like this, your car attendant will often make a dinner reservation for you (if you have a room). Amtrak serves dinner until 9 p.m. for people who board the train before 8:30 p.m. This train has traditional dining but has yet to open to coach passengers.

      If you are in coach, you can go to the cafe car anytime after you board; they are open late.
