Call me nostalgic, but the dining car experience for me has always been one of the highlights of long distance train travel. Its a shame to see the dining car disappear off the Meteor as well. I have always enjoyed the meals and the company on Amtrak diners over the years.
I feel exactly the same way.
I have some great memories of meals in dining cars with my wife, and also engaging conversations with other passengers over dinner.

The more I think back, it really never was about the food. It was about the getting to know your neighbors at the table. A few times when traveling solo on the long gone NotSoBroadway Limited, the conversations were so interesting they moved to the lounge car after dinner was done.

You never will get that experience flying domestically.
