Restaurateur Vince Schallenberg, until recently a partner in Corky’s BBQ, plans to open a new restaurant at 6813 Cantrell in early April. All Aboard will serve fast-casual food with a healthy tilt, Schallenberg said — grilled sandwiches, wraps, pitas, salads, soups, turkey burgers. Just how fast the food arrives to customers depends on All Aboard’s novel delivery system: Diners, Schallenberg said, will receive their meals via a train that will travel on two oval tracks six feet seven inches above 1800 square-foot dining room. Without ever stopping, the train will transfer orders to diners’ booths via a hydraulic mechanism. A logistics computer system will power the operation.

Schallenberg said he plans to keep the restaurant open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. He plans also to serve beer and wine.
