I am traveling in room 19, car 5909, on the CONO from CHI-HMD on March 31. I know that this room is in the trans-dorm. Is there any place that has a diagram of the trans-dorm? Where in the trans-dorm is this room?
I've only explored a trans-dorm car once but never stayed in one. The one that I explored had about 20 roomettes and no bedrooms. Are you sure that you have a bedroom? The trans dorm did not seem as well maintained as the standard sleeper coaches as the crew stays in them. Judging from the room number I would guess that you may be near one end of the car.I am traveling in room 19, car 5909, on the CONO from CHI-HMD on March 31.

Looks like it is the second room on the left after the office.Room #19 will be the first roomette on the left after walking into the Trans/Dorm.
Its an office.Why is the 15 highlighted?

IIRC the office is down on the "low end" right next to rooms 7 and 8 with the door being right before the stairwell.Its an office.Why is the 15 highlighted?

15 is indeed an office, in my few trips in the dorm, I've not seen it used as such. The conductors usually setup downstairs where they can be together and have more room. Frankly all I've ever seen in 15 is dirty linen and sometimes supplies like the bottled water handed out by the attendants.IIRC the office is down on the "low end" right next to rooms 7 and 8 with the door being right before the stairwell.Its an office.Why is the 15 highlighted?

In the downstairs are with the booths on the 39000-39002 there are six booths rather than having the captains chairs. All three cars are allocated to Auto Train.
When I've been in the transdorm, I've wandered down there. There was nobody to stop me, but on the other hand there was no sign saying "Passengers Stay Upstairs."Are passengers allowed downstairs at all?
Actually it depends on a couple of things.When I've been in the transdorm, I've wandered down there. There was nobody to stop me, but on the other hand there was no sign saying "Passengers Stay Upstairs."Are passengers allowed downstairs at all?
Thanks for the diagram! I've never stayed in the trans-dorm before.Here you go...
Course, this is the version with the H room.

It was the standard baggage rack in the trans-dorm I was in on the CONO in October.AlohaThanks for the diagram! I've never stayed in the trans-dorm before.Here you go...

What are the 2 red lines showing? Also is the Grey area across from the stairs the baggage area, or something different in this car?

Oh, I thought the small "room" off each of the two toilets upstairs, was a shower???... , then passengers are always allowed downstairs, as that's where the showers are.
It depends on which configuration of the Trans/Dorm you get. If you get the one pictured above, then yes the toilet you see opposite room 15 does indeed have a shower off to the left in that picture. It's the side that has no door to the hallway.Oh, I thought the small "room" off each of the two toilets upstairs, was a shower???... , then passengers are always allowed downstairs, as that's where the showers are.
These are scans from a Superliner safety card. I cannot seem to find it right now to see what those red lines are, but I am sure they are pointing out some safety feature. Perhaps locations of fire extinguishers?What are the 2 red lines showing?

Not with Amtrak, no. Not sure if they're running anywhere else (I doubt it).I haven't been in any of the Superliner transdorm configurations, but I've enjoyed many trips between Denver and Chicago in the old Hi-level transdorm-coaches. Are any of those still in operation?
IINM the Heartland Flyer has a couple of these old coaches that they use on the OKC-FTW run. I was on the TE to CHI when we deadheaded a couple of them going North to be rehabbed according to the OBS on my train?? :unsure:Not with Amtrak, no.

Do you mean Hi-level coaches or Hi-level transdorms? I'm guessing coach since what need would the Flyer have for a transdorm?IINM the Heartland Flyer has a couple of these old coaches that they use on the OKC-FTW run.
