Thanks Alan, we were in 42. The horn was pretty quiet from there.

How about the car position? Our sleeping car was pretty far back. Would a car closer to the front make a difference in the ride?

We finished the first half of the AT trip, quite enjoyable until sleeping. It was quite rough for both of us, a lot of bumping and rocking during the night. I didn't get to sleep until 4:00 or 5:00, just a couple of hours before arriving. To be fair, I am not the best sleeper anywhere but my...

Indeed. The light rail already includes one University of Houston campus, Rice University, downtown, the medical center, and Reliant Stadium. Expansion will add another UH campus, Saint Thomas University, Texas Southern University, and the Galleria.

I do hope our light rail becomes useful to more people. Here is a map of the planned expansion, can't start soon enough.

Thanks guys! Booked it, got the roomettes as requested. I'm going to check on the accessible bedroom when we get within the 14 days. Any idea what the price is on that? Same as regular bedroom?

Why upper? I haven't been on before, about to book lower to avoid any extra sway on the upper.

Thanks, I was about to ask which roomettes would be best on the AT. We're leaning towards getting 2 roomettes, would that make 11 and 12 the rooms to get? Do I have to place a phone order to request specific rooms, or can I order online and request specific rooms afterwards?

Sounds like the best sleeping is a roomette on lower deck. Any preferences for upper deck? The accessible bedroom looks best for people that don't like confined spaces. I don't see it in the upgrades. Is it possible to book?

Thanks, duly noted. Leads me to another question. Is it possible to book 2 roomettes on the AT with only 1 automobile? Gets more space than 1 of course, is actually lower price than 1 bedroom. No way to book that scenario online.

Thanks! That swaying appears to be the only drawback for me so far to the AT Superliner. The bedrooms are of course on the upper bunk. Definitely won't be taking coach. It'll either be roomette by myself, or bedroom if my wife goes. I just checked pricing with bedroom, the AT is cheaper by a...

Thanks so much Alan. Appreciate the responses, I know you guys answer the same questions many times. How does the bedroom compare between the 2 trains? If my wife goes on the train we'll need it instead of the roomette (claustrophobia).

Anybody been on both that could comment on the noise? I've read that the Superliners are quieter, less click/clack and rattling.

Driving from Texas to Orlando theme parks, then need to be in DC for a bit. Then back. If we did Silvers I would do a rental to Orlando, then Crescent back to NOL, then short drive. It definitely has more opportunity. I even noticed you could take the Meteor to Charleston from Orlando, de-board...

Want the best I can get for first train trip.

Thanks for the comments guys! I should have said that I don't have to take the car with us, but it would be doable if the AT is worth it.

Hi guys. Possible first-time rider here looking at some options. To start with, is there an appreciable difference between the AT and Silver Service lines when it comes to the ride, accommodations, amenities, etc...? From what I've read so far it seems that AT might have a smoother ride and has...
