Amtrak auto train superliner roomette. The superliner sleeping car contained 14 roomettes rooms 1 to 10 upstairs 11 to 14 downstairs five larger bedrooms a to e all upstairs one family bedroom downstairs and one handicapped accessible bedroom downstairs. Additionally amtrak no longer makes beds like in the photo. A sleeper room that could hold three passengers. A superliner features two levels of private accommodations per car and viewliner features a single level.
For your trip the type of car will depend on the route you select. A few years ago amtrak took a survey to find people now prefer the blanket wrapped in plastic. If you read the title of the post. Roomettes are amtrak s smallest accommodations.
On our recent birdwatching trip to southern oregon we decided to take amtrak again to relive this experience. In response to an earlier post about superliner roomettes i was asked if i preferred being on the upper or lower level in one of those bi level rail cars. My parents will be in tampa florida for the next few months and we had two options for their car from new york. The amtrak sleeping car fleet consists of two types of cars.
Sleeper used only on the auto train. It has only bedrooms a e j n on the upper level roomettes 11 14 a family room 15 and a hadicap room h on the lower level. All meals are served to go and you eat in your seats. There are 10 roomettes on the upper level four below well as is usually the case there are pros and cons to each choice.
We were served our meals in our roomette auto train from washington dc to florida. I drive it down or take it down on amtrak s auto train. Because the train traveled overnight i booked a roomette amtrak s name for their basic two person sleeper cabin. It s an eleven and a half hour trip from san jose ca to klamath falls or.
But personally i prefer being in a roomette on the upper level. The amtrak sleeping car fleet consists of two types of cars. A superliner features two levels of private accommodations per car and viewliner features a single level.
