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. You can take your food back to your seat and use your spacious tray table, or relax in the Lounge car if your train has one. The Bistro is wheelchair accessible and two of the trainsets feature panoramic windows. Amtrak Cascades is proud to feature products grown and made in the Pacific Northwest on our normal menu.

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. Two of our current trainsets feature a Lounge Car.
Entertainment
If you’re looking for a little entertainment with your relaxation, you’re in luck. You may bring personal electronic devices such as laptops, smartphones, e-readers, and tablets (be sure to use headphones). Standard 110-volt electrical power outlets are available right by your seat to supply power to your electronic devices.
