How about adding a second row of windows to the Superliners, like the Viewliners have? A window in that upper bunk would make a huge difference.George,
Sadly that idea wouldn't increase headroom, but rather would decrease it marginally. The upper bed in the roomette has slightly less headroom than the upper bed in a Bedroom because of the curve of the car ceiling and the need to clear the both the window and still be above seat backs on the lower combo bed/seat.
And while it wouldn't affect the ability to do a two room suite, it would prevent one from opening the bathroom door once the bed is down.
Of course, with two levels, that would make 4 rows of windows per car! That sure would look interesting...
