I see somewhat regular questions from newer board members about the Empire Builder and the food service options created by its split operation. The train splits and joins in Spokane, WA. I just completed an entry on my blog to summarize the operation from my dozen plus trips of experience.

Nice blog. Too bad the Acela trip didn't happen; it would be a nice experience for you; a change of pace. The real advantage to the Acela, though, is the fact that it is a really good option for travel between Bos-NYC-DC. If you haven't tried the other 4 options, it's hard to compare. Have fun next week to Portland.
