It seems like every topic about the Silvers or Lake Shore someone bemoans the expense and/or unavailability of Viewliner bedrooms. Makes sense-there's only two per car instead of six in a Superliner. Has there been any talk of making some of the new Viewliner sleepers all-bedroom cars like the Deluxe Sleeper on the Auto Train? Or, since the new Viewliners won't have bathrooms in the roomettes, converting some of the old ones with the plumbing already there into all-bedroom cars? Is this plausible/sensical? It seems like the relative shortage will only get worse-especially since anyone who doesn't want to share a bathroom might want a bedroom after the roomettes lose them. The downside to this I suppose would be that there'd only be 10-11 revenue rooms, which might be a problem...Thoughts?
