As of now, I have in our itinerary to eat lunch both days in our travels. For lunch on Saturday, there is about 2 hours allocated at the Gallery at Market East. Of course in that area there's also the Reading Terminal Market and countless places along Market Street and side streets, if anything suits you better. Should there be spare time, there's always the SEPTA museum/store if it's still open Saturdays. For lunch on Sunday, one hour at 30th Street Station should be enough.
Which brings up the question of our usual Saturday dinner for the winter RailFests. I don't think too many of us are in the mood for an expensive sit-down steak dinner. There are a few diner-type places in Center City, similar to the Skylight Diner in New York from last winter. However considering that we presently have only 7 people on Saturday, and 3 of them can go home and eat dinner, we don't necessarily need to have a formal group meal.
Meals in Philly?

Having not heard back from anyone, I'm assuming we're in agreement that there won't be any sit-down Saturday dinner. We can always play it by ear and decide in person if anyone wishes to hang around. But many will have trains to catch back home or to hotels so it could end up being a very small group at dinnertime.

Kevin,
I know that I won't be there for dinner on Saturday night. I just this morning completed plans with one of my sister's to take the train out to Doylestown to have dinner with her. This will also mean that I'll cut Saturday a bit short most likely, unless we run early on things, and skip the final ride of the day on the Broad Street line.
Alan,
Take care and take trains!
