The deluxe sleeper (all bedroom upstairs) is unique to the A/T but the A/T also has regular sleepers.
Yes. Usually there are two of those different sleepers (Deluxe Sleepers) per consist. They are all named with the word Palm in it. These are all bedrooms upstairs with standard Superliner Sleeper layout downstairs with four Roomettes, a Family Room and a Handicapped Room.The Auto Train also carries at least three or more standard Superliner Sleepers in addition to these so called Deluxe Sleepers.Also, I understand the Auto Train also uses a different sleeper which only has bedrooms upstairs.
It does look like A/T is a particularly popular and well run route. It would be great for Amtrak to expand it a bit further north to NY area but I understand superliner cars won't be able to fit.
Maybe Amtrak can consider do a similar one from Chicago to Denver for skiers, or to Nola or wherever mid western snowbirds like to spend their winter.
