Train Attendant
I only get a train trip once or twice a year and due to my location it is typically on the Silvers or the NE Regional Line. So when I found out I get to ride a train with two levels - it is a rare treat for me.
Quick Summary : I'm helping a family member out and basically has resulted in a one-way Auto Train ride next week. I booked online and when looking at my reservation print out; I noticed I am in Roomette 14 which is downstairs. I have ridden on the auto train once and was upstairs. I enjoyed it - it was fun and different than usual being a little higher up. And I guess I always assumed the downstairs rooms were reserved for those that might be challenged with stairs or other mobility issues etc.
I've tried to search threads to look for answers on the difference between upstairs and downstairs and what people prefer. I did see that if I try to move - I might be asked to pay a higher fare (which being upstairs is not worth that to me); but I'm curious 1) Which do you prefer? And 2) what to expect from a downstairs roomette?
Thanks!
