Tour of an Amtrak Superliner Sleeping Car ( Old Version)

Disclaimer: I am not an Amtrak Employee, all information in this video is subject to change, it is best to get official questions about all accommodations and ticketing information from the Amtrak website or appropriate Amtrak personnel.

Sleeping accommodations are available on most long-distance routes. Amtrak trains traveling on long-distance routes typically use either two-level Superliner or one-level Viewliner train car equipment, each of which include bedrooms arranged in various configurations and private and public bathrooms and showers.

A Superliner Roomette is ideal for one or two passengers, with two comfortable reclining seats on either side of a big picture window. At night, the seats convert to a comfortable bed, and an upper berth folds down from above. Roomettes are located on both upper and lower levels of double-decker Superliner train cars.

A Superliner Bedroom is ideal for two passengers, but can accommodate three (two passengers must share the lower berth). Call 1-800-USA-RAIL for help reserving the Superliner Bedroom for three passengers. Each room has a large sofa with two individually reclining sections, and a reclining easy chair. At night, the sofa converts to a comfortable bed, and an upper berth folds down from above. All Superliner Bedrooms feature private, self-enclosed restrooms with toilet, sink and shower. All Bedrooms are located on the upper level of double-decker Superliner train cars.

[HWY287Productions]

@amtraksouthwestchief Sorry to disappoint but....I am only a Station Host Volunteer. I do not work on the train nor film Amtrak as a railfan. I Had the opportunity ( off duty of course) to give a tour so I took it , but my position is only at the train stations in Dallas and Fort Worth. I am looking to apply at Amtrak when I'm out of high school for an employee position out of Chicago ( Central division). Thanks for the comment though!

@dheinerrr thank you for the kind comment

Very impressive video! I take the Capitol Limited quite often, as my future wife lives in Pittsburgh, and ALWAYS get a Roomette. Its worth the extra cost; I took a Coach seat once from Pittsburgh to Chicago, and I won't ever do it again! Thanks for such a quality video!

@HWY287Productions They should promote you to on board rail Marketing or something. I really enjoyed my You Tube travel by rail with you. You explained things and have anwsered my questions. Also it was quiet and you were talking in a great tone of voice for this video! Keep up the good work!

This video takes me back to my childhood train rides in Louisville ,Kentucky. I especially liked the silence at the end and just listening to the sound of the train on the tracks. :)
