On the superliner sleeping cars do the roomettes have their own toilets/sinks? Thank you. I am a newbie and am looking forward to taking Amtrak from VA to LA October 2022. BTW is the timetable/schedule better for viewing heading west or east. We have our choice.

I am a newbie to this Forum and have not heard about bidding up? What is that? How do I find it on line? I'd love to upgrade to Business class sometime but is it last minute? Thank you for heading me in the right direction.

Hi, I am brand new to Amtrak Unlimited but not to trains. I love them probably due to riding them when I was little from Chicago to Boston with my family to visit grandparents on Cape Cod Bay. What wonderful memories of flipping a coin to see who got the top bunk. Now we are both retired and...
