    Pros/Cons: Lower Level or Upper Level Superliner Roomette

    Currently on the CS in a lower level roomette and we were missed by the dinner time staff member. Went upstairs to the Parlor Car for a pre dinner drink and found him working that crowd. Claims he did all the sleeping cars but must have missed lower levels! So beware now we have late dinner

    First trip in 4 days, MEM-CHI-ABQ, advice on what to expect?

    Check your only plugin when you enter your roomette for your CPAP use. Mine was not usable at all unless the plugin was taped in place . Use the showers they are of good size, clean and lots of hot water.
