there is just one. I always bring a higher end power strip. along to plug in all the devices to use in the train.
 
I have been in bedrooms where there are usually 2 outlets. One is next to the sink and the other is either on the hall side of the couch or the window side of the couch.
 
Superliners were designed back in the day when I might have needed one outlet for a razor. A few years later I needed outlets for still and video cameras, phone, laptop, scanner, GPS, Walkman......but I've come full circle back to needing only one outlet again for my phone as everything I used to carry is now on that one device (razor excluded!)
 
I see... I was thinking Superliner Roomette, which only has 1 outlet .

You got me excited thinking there is a secret additional 2nd outlet in a Superliner Roomette that I didn’t know of.
 
At least on Viewliner. 1 is next to the sink/above the toilet. The other is behind your head/on the wall.

Last time I was in a Viewliner roomette (in February), there was only one outlet (near the sink). I do not recall remembering 2 outlets. Pre-COVID, I would travel on the Silver Meteor in a roomette at least every other month.
 
Trust me there's TWO outlets in the AutoTrain Superliner Bedrooms. I was on 10 (ten) A/T r/t's last year. One is next to the sink and one is on the wall behind the couch/bed. Could be the inside (left) or outside (right) depending on which room you have.

Superliner I or Superliner II Bedrooms. IIRC, they refurbished some of the Superliner I bedrooms (upper level, the non-roomette half of the car) and I can confirm outlet placement.

I'm happy to confirm this on Wednesday when I'll be on the 5.
 
2018 tour of bedroom on Texas Eagle shows 3 outlets: a double on the hallway side of the sink, and a single on the window end of the couch.


... and another from 2019 with the 3rd outlet on the hallway end of the couch.



The rooms look very different from each other. I don't whether one's a Superliner I and the other a II, or they're before & after refurbishment, or whatever. But both have a double outlet next to the sink, and a single at one end of the couch.
 
Spotted three outlets in Bedroom B on today's California Zephyr car 32045, two above the sink by the door, one by the seat

This bedroom definitely looks refurbished though.
