Train Attendant
I've booked my once-in-a-lifetime rail journey for the spring. I'll be criss-crossing the country, covering about 8600 miles by train (plus another 2400 by air to get started). On all of my overnight trains, I've booked into roomettes. I have some questions about the specific roomettes. First of all, is there any difference between one room and another, or are they all the same?
I read somewhere (can't find it now) that location matters in regards to engine noise overnight. How can I tell if my room assignments are “good”? If they're not particularly good, will Amtrak change them for me if other rooms are available? How would I know which rooms might be better? Is there any rhyme or reason to the order in which they're assigned in the first place?
Are these rooms good? How can I know how many cars are on the train, and in what order?
Car 0430 Room 005
Car 0431 Room 003
Car 0730 Room 003
Car 1130 Room 004
Car 0631 Room 004
Car 3001 Room 002
Thanks!
