Alaska RR: Seward to Anchorage: Dinner Served??

[SEPyle]

We'll be taking the train from Seward to Anchorage. I'm pretty sure I've read this, however want to make sure because someone in our group is diabetic. Is it possible to purchase dinner on the train?

 

Thanks

Last time I took the ARR to and from Seward there was a "dining car" with limited snacks. Things might be different so check the railroad webpage at http://www.arr.com for further information.

Yes they have a dining car with a limited menu that I thought was spendy. My daughter liked the reindeer stew served in a bread bowl.Sorry I don't remember the price but I'm guessing around $10.Usually we bring snacks along.

Yes as already mentioned, there is a dining room on the train that they fill going car to car announcing dinner is "served". But it is simple to just pick up Subway, if needed, plus plenty other fast food options a block or two from the train in Seward. The train also sells, snacks if needed, under the dome seats.

Thanks so much to all of you for your imput! Actually arr.com didn't work, but I found the site at www.alaskarailroad.com. In case anyone else is interested, here's the link to the actual menue on the train. http://www.akrr.com/pdf/PAS_MENU_2005_Coastal_Classic.pdf. It does give some good options, however Subway sure does sound like a great way to save some $'s!

 

Thanks again!

Did I read this correctly? There is a "dome" car on the train from Seward to Anchorage?

Wrong words perhaps. your ice cream shop had snacks, a couple of the stores across from the boat offices had snacks, your gas station had snacks. I guess snacks was the word. :) You can also get take out at the Marina.
