Possibly the most important tip of all. SNACKS! A lot of the long distance routes feature full-service dining cars with plenty of kid-friendly food – think French toast, grilled cheese, meatballs with penne. On shorter routes, trains have snack bars offering sandwiches, bagels, chips, and other snacks. You may want to pack some of your kids favorite snacks regardless though! Traveling with an infant? Bring baby food or formula and ask the food-service staff to warm it for you. You can make reservations for the dining car shortly after boarding. As always when traveling with kids, you should always bring snacks and beverages, in case you can’t get a reservation or the snack bar decides to shut down just when your kids announce that they are starving.
