You are correct, a select few LD Trains do use china-ware for

not always for all meals.....
I guess I continue this rant across several foums, because I know first hand how really EZ this would be.
And, I'd guess a high number of posters have never experienced what "really, really, top-notch service" can be/was had on Amtrak years ago, with the same, or worse, equipment that is in service today.
That, and I think a lot of frequent riders are just "happy to have LD Trains to even ride, and would 'settle' for being served almost anything in a dining car."
Can you say, "Modified Meal Service"? Oh the horror........ Of course this staggered seating plan they now use SUX too, but with the limited staffing, it's a neccessity
