Depends on the Conductor and OBS on the train, but there is a plenty of Space downstairs if they let you down there, and also the old unused Conductor office upstairs by the end door has plenty of space.Is there a luggage rack in the transition car? I am heading to San Antonio from Chicago tomorrow (Saturday March 23) and am trying to decide what bag to bring. There are two of us and we are in the transition car
I find attendants on the dorm sleeper are very variable. The last trip I made (came back yesterday on the TE) the guy was good and was fairly attentive. But I've also been on runs where the dorm-car attendant was also an attendant for a coach car (? or so they told me) and you couldn't find them.
It could have been a passenger.A little off topic. I was in a roomette in the transition dorm car as a paying customer a couple of years ago. Amtrak is all no smoking of all substances. After going to bed there was a strong aroma of marijuana wafting up into my room. Apparently the OBS employee in the room below me was taking liberties. I didn't complain, but I was a little concerned as I was subject to random testing as a railroad employee. Fortunately I wasn't tested for quite some time after my vacation. Crazy world.
