No more ice cream with Mt Fuji: Japan train line phases out snack carts

[Collection]Central Japan Railway said on Tuesday it would phase out the famed on-board snack cart services, in which a uniformed vendor dispenses beverages and light refreshments, pushing their cart through the aisles of the moving train and bowing as they enter or leave the carriage. Snack and food sales have been a mainstay on the Shinkansen, or bullet train, since it began running in 1964, a railway spokesperson said.
