I do have a roomette on both the CL and the SM, seats still look very close together that we would be knocking knees. But can't afford two and can't afford a bedroom. But, it is what it is, and we will be spending 8 hours sleeping anyway, so really not much time sitting face to face.
If the room feels to small, you can always visit the cafe or lounge car, depending on the train...
true, if they aren't overloaded with people. At least I can walk from one end of the train to the other. So I was trying to find some information on the layout of an entire superliner train, not just the sleepers. I was curious how many sleeper cars a train has. One car for roomettes than one for bedrooms? So is it basically, coach, coach, coach, coach, lounge area, cafe, diner, roomettes, bedrooms? Or maybe in reverse order, but something like that.
The empire builder is a pair of locomotives, a baggage car, a crew dormitory car, tow sleepers, a diner, two coaches, a sightseer lounge car, two more coaches, and another sleeper.
The Capitol limited is two locomotives, a baggage car, a crew dormitory car, two sleepers, a diner, a sightseer lounge car and three coaches.
The silver meteor south of Washington, D.C. has one or two locomotives, a baggage car, three sleepers, a diner, a cafe car, and four or five coaches.
These are the typical configurations for these trains, but operations can cause these to change.
