On Board the Trains
Dining
Bistro
The Bistro Car offers a variety of fresh, local foods and beverages including soups, sandwiches, sweets and snacks, as well as alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages. Dine at one of the booths, sit at the counter, take food back to your seat, or relax in the Lounge car. The Bistro is wheelchair accessible and features panoramic windows. Amtrak Cascades® is proud to feature products grown and made in the Pacific Northwest. Local favorites are featured on our Bistro Menu (pdf).
Lounge
The Lounge Car is one of the best places to enjoy the passing scenery, with casual seating for 30, available on a first-come basis. Eat, read, or play a game at one of 10 tables. The Lounge car is wheelchair accessible.
Entertainment
If you’re looking for a little entertainment with your relaxation, you’re in luck. Movies are available right at your seat and change monthly (bring your own headphones and enjoy them for free, or purchase headphones on the train). You may also bring and use onboard personal electronic devices such as laptop computers, DVD players, and CD players (be sure to use headphones). Standard 110-volt electrical power outlets are available right by your seat to supply power to your electronic devices. View our current list of movies playing on board:
