On the Silvers, I cannot remember a time when the bedrooms were not in the front and thus, room 3 would be on the right and the larger seat would be facing forward.
While I realize that technically direction is suppose to be random, I can't remember a single time I have been on a Silver, where the roomette end hasn't faced the dining car
I have heard that the viewliner sleepers are alway in the same configuration relative the thedining car because of the exit or vestibule connection. On every viewliner sleeper I have
traveled, room three has been on the right side facing in the direction ofthe train.
These statements seem to contradict themselves. :wacko:
In the summer, the Silvers have the sleepers (and thus the Dining Car) on the rear of the train. During the summer, they are at the front of the train. So thus if the Roomette end was next to the Dining Car, wouldn't the odd/even rooms be switched? :blush:
That's why I said facing the dining car, not facing the locomotive. And yes, when the Viewliners could be on the rear in the
winter, with dining car now in front of them. So, in that case, they are flipped around. and the roomette end is still facing the dining car.
The dining car is ways between the sleepers and the rest of the train, as way to keep the riffraff (aka coach passengers) away.
