I understand what you're comparing it to, but that's not the case at
all. It is a first class steakhouse that happens to have originally
started a couple of generations ago with a dining car. Yes, railway
food was once elegant but this restaurant already existed in those
times and kept its standards high while the railway business
declined. -aem
