    what is the advantage of being as far back as possible?

    In March 2017 I was in a Cabin for One, #3, which indeed was on the side opposite the Cabins for Two. I was on the left side facing forward. That was train #2. Next March I have the same room on train #1!

    Northeast Regional - luggage?

    The rides down Chicago's platforms would be at least 5 bucks at an old fashioned amusement park. With 2 bags I tip that amount, and they put the bags right in the Viewliner roomette.
