Amtrak auto train superliner roomette.

In response to an earlier post about superliner roomettes i was asked if i preferred being on the upper or lower level in one of those bi level rail cars. I drive it down or take it down on amtrak s auto train. But personally i prefer being in a roomette on the upper level. A few years ago amtrak took a survey to find people now prefer the blanket wrapped in plastic.

One of the main perks of long distance train travel is the ability to get a good night s sleep in amtrak s onboard private sleeping accommodations whether it be a roomette or a bedroom riders love the comfort and privacy of amtrak s private sleeping room and being able to arrive at their destination refreshed and ready to begin their travel adventures. The amtrak sleeping car fleet consists of two types of cars. A sleeper room that could hold three passengers. The superliner sleeping car contained 14 roomettes rooms 1 to 10 upstairs 11 to 14 downstairs five larger bedrooms a to e all upstairs one family bedroom downstairs and one handicapped accessible bedroom downstairs.

We were served our meals in our roomette auto train from washington dc to florida. Additionally amtrak no longer makes beds like in the photo. My parents will be in tampa florida for the next few months and we had two options for their car from new york. For your trip the type of car will depend on the route you select.

On our recent birdwatching trip to southern oregon we decided to take amtrak again to relive this experience. If you read the title of the post. Sleeper used only on the auto train. A short video showing the interior of the roomette on amtrak s auto train.

Because the train traveled overnight i booked a roomette amtrak s name for their basic two person sleeper cabin. All meals are served to go and you eat in your seats. Roomettes are amtrak s smallest accommodations. There are 10 roomettes on the upper level four below well as is usually the case there are pros and cons to each choice.

It has only bedrooms a e j n on the upper level roomettes 11 14 a family room 15 and a hadicap room h on the lower level. New bedding and towels are coming soon starting with the auto train. A superliner features two levels of private accommodations per car and viewliner features a single level.
