We have done Dinner on the Diner multiple times and always on the Pullman. It costs more but you get a booth. I take Subway Sandwiches or Fried Chicken on the regular trains all the time. I sit there and let the smell permeate the area as I eat it. I have even done cab rides where I ate a big smelly sandwich in the cab of the engine as we went down the tracks. When you do a cab ride you don't touch the emergency brake. They point it out.
