dinner-on-the-train

If eating a nice dinner in the dining car on the way home from Chicago, what would you be most excited for?

• Being served by a dapper waiter, dressed the part to be a witness in a 20th-century murder mystery1
• Sipping a glass of Cabernet while planning the lucrative expansion of your railroad empire with your closest business partners3
• Watching out the window at the landscape rushing past and sun setting while waiting for your treasurer to return from the front of the train8
• Sampling the Caesar salad as the train's jostling presumably causes the glass breaking sound up ahead
• Enjoying a remarkably good medium-rare steak, compliments to the chef as he hurries through the dining car2
• Finishing off your cheesecake, enjoying the last moment of peace before the waiter rudely asks you to identify a body in the cooking car
