    You might be interested to know that Amtrak is in discussion for a new generation of these bilevel cars. According to the request for proposals, the new ones should have a lot more outlets, enclosed gangways between cars, electronic doors lockable from the outside of the sleeper compartments, and single-seat sleeping compartment pods someplace between a Roomette and a business class lie-flat seat. Assuming the contract to buy them gets funded at all with....everything.

      The majority of the operating Superliners (284) are Superliner Is, from the 1970s, about 45 years old with refurbishments since, with 195 Superliner IIs added in the mid-90s and thus about 30 years old. If the contract goes ahead, the plan is for the new bilevel purchase to replace all of those.

    A lot of people make fun of the rail system in the US but Amtrak does a lot with a tiny budget. The workers especially really seem to care. The train here just isn’t that popular and doesn’t make a lot of money anymore. Vegan is tough but that’s a choice. I’m allergic to gluten which is very difficult when traveling.

    What a great trip. Correct me if I wrong, if you want a better panorama, try the Portland part of the train, but the downside is you can't access dining car, since the dining car on Seattle part of the train. The trip didn't end well since the harsh weather make the train going trouble for a while, and more bad news is your train got cancelled. I think your cancelled train trip can be try during outside winter.
