@trainman1654 That's awesome!

[Aqwert76]

no offence but this kinda looks like an ICE for fat people..

[jpaufsc]

@Aqwert76 haha never heard that before....

[amarkanders777]

do amtrak trains have Dorm cars? I worked for the GN, they had them for the dining car people. I quess NEVER any baggage people as crew members, I think a 'brakeman' (asst' conductor) takes care.

@amarkanders777 They don't have specific dorm cars in the east. Its more of a reserved seat in the coach or cafe that the crew occupy. I know on some trains that run in the west fave a transition sleeper which serves as a crew dorm
