SWC Superliner sleeper cars

At Flagstaff (8:51 pm) on the way to LAX I'll be switching from coach to a roomette. My car/room numbers are; Car 0331 - Room 002. Is there a diagram available that actually shows this car with the room numbers? Additionally, any experienced opinions on this particular roomette? I think it's on the upper level. On a previous trip I had the roomette on the lower level right next to the luggage storage shelves. I liked it - the toilettes and shower were close by.

The 31 car is next to the Dining Car. Room 2 is in the center of the car on the upper level, next to the stairs and the coffee & juice station. It is across the aisle from the SCA's room and upper level rest room.

Thanks. I do have a diagram that shows all of that. http://www.craigmashburn.com/amtrakcardiagrams.html

No, the 31 car is 2 cars from the dining car. The 30 is in between. Should not be any problem. Wave to me as you approach Flagstaff!

Sorry for the misinformation!

Some trains start at the -0- car and some start at the 1 car. The SWC is one that start at the -0- car.

0313|0413 —— Superliner Coach (seasonal)

* One of the coaches is almost always a baggage coach.

And that baggage coach on the SWC is rarely used for checked baggage, which is instead placed in the dedicated baggage car at the front of the train (although no longer a "heritage" baggage car). I have seen the baggage area at times used by coach passengers for lie-flat sleeping at night, until rousted out by a conductor.

I have seen that coach-baggage used for groups of Boy Scouts retraining at Raton.

Blasted spell checker. Detraining

The BSA council sent a contingent of 40 boys and 5 adult leaders. Each had a full backpack weighing over 40 pounds on an aluminum frame plus a small bag for train travel. 45 of these take a lot of space, so using the Baggage area in the Coach/Baggage car makes sense.

Here's​ what the inside of the SWC Coach/Baggage on the train I took to Philmont scout ranch. I rode out on the first date it was open to scouts.

Conductor, my bag's the one on the bottom and I'm getting off at the next station. :giggle:

Did the rousting occur early in the morning, or in the middle of the night?
