"If", yes. "When", probably April or so.Does anyone know if and when the consist will change back to sleepers at head end of train?
Yes!!!Seasoned traveler who like to sleep with there feet forward are going nuts.
On or about March 1, 2017 is what I've seen.Does anyone know if and when the consist will change back to sleepers at head end of train?
Huh? The roomettes on one side sleep feet facing forwards. The other half sleep feet facing backwards. Aren't most of the bedrooms set up so that you sleep "across the rails"? So who's left to go nuts?Have to say the "new" reason to flip the trainset might be a non seasonal thing. Of course the complaints from the sleeper will be loud, so there just no way know if they will stay this way forever. Or we will experience switching of equipment in the spring.

Yeah I was wondering about that. There is no single direction for the Viewliners that places all roomettes feet first or head first.Huh? The roomettes on one side sleep feet facing forwards. The other half sleep feet facing backwards. Aren't most of the bedrooms set up so that you sleep "across the rails"?

What ? ? haven't you ever remade your bed to go the other way ?Have to say the "new" reason to flip the trainset might be a non seasonal thing.

Remaking the bed the opposite direction on a Viewliner sleeper does not "work."What ? ? haven't you ever remade your bed to go the other way ?Have to say the "new" reason to flip the trainset might be a non seasonal thing.

Planes with backwards facing seat are military hops, in my experience. If a plane crash your backward face seat will help to keep you alive.I must admit I have never worried about which way my head is facing on trains or even planes that have backward facing sleeper seats.
aren't some A380-800 aircraft equipped with first class "suites" that face both forward and backward?Planes with backwards facing seat are military hops, in my experience.

Trains are much more like to power-stop. Your body will continue to move forward, with the wall stoping you. So when your sliding forward do you want to hit the wall with your feet, or with your head, and hope your broomstick (neck) does not go snap?
I've never requested a specific room or side of the train. I've only ridden in a VL once so far, but doubt I'd care what room I'm in.Wow! Do we not request certain roomettes number (even or odd) so your feet are face to the front, when sleeping in the lower berth of a roomettes?
Or is just me.
Got ask to swap with a another passenger so she could seat forward and not get motion sickness. (One think he mean sleep forward.)
I am too big to sleep with body next to the toilet. I need wing space. Can and do sleep top bunk, but that a pain to get into. So I reserve a roomettes on the side (even or odd) that will get me a lower berth with my feet facing forward. Plan "B" is to use the top bunk.

As I said, I do not worry about that. There are many more immediate higher probability threats to worry about if one wants to, starting with the trip by road to the train station. I don't worry about that either. I have a very que sera sera attitude towards life.Planes with backwards facing seat are military hops, in my experience.

That was a great thing when I took the Meteor to Miami in January. I was able to sleep without earplugs since we were so far from the engine.The Silver sleepers are still in "winter consist." It appears that they may not be flipped this spring.
