What would you do for food on the Shavano? I know there was a hotel/restaurant at Cimarron in the old old old days. So maybe you were just supposed to know nothing was available, and grab something in Gunnison? Today, eating on the train (any train!) is a HUGE part of the experience me thinks..... The San Juan in a parlor car would have been a super trip.

PS. I rode VIA Rail’s
Canadian back in February, and was hoping to make it coast-to-coast on the
Ocean this fall. I’ve heard VIA won’t be reinstating the train till November however, and it will be coach only with no sleepers or dining cars. Sounds more like an ordeal than a trip to me. Damn virus.....
