This past weekend I took the Coast Starlight Northbound. I had roomette 8 and loved it. It was the closest car to the crew car so there was very little foot traffic/noise. As for comments about motion sickness/sway...I was not bothered at all, despite the fact that I do get car sick, seasick. I...

I took a photo of the menu for you...but I left my camera on the Surfliner coming home. Didn't want you to think I forgot ya.

After a wonderful night’s sleep I awoke very early this morning to see Shasta… ads the train traveled on deer were running…there was a Mother deer and little one posed looking like Bambi. It was awesome. Went down for an early breakfast and enjoyed the scenery … met 3 very nice...

Ya know.... I don't remember... I will try to get a look at the menu before detraining.

Went to the parlour car for my 6:45 ressie...but...no veggie options... so I made my way to the dining car...they had plenty of room. I was seated next to a lady from San Jose and two other gentlemen. Had pasta for dinner and it was delicious. I don't know why there are so many complaints about...

Back from a nice wine tasting. It is $5 now. Last time I rode it was free...but $5 was still worth it..very enjoyable and I had a nice couple from Texas ...Lubbock in fact invite me to join them. So it was even better.

Thank you all so, so much. For some reason I thought there may well be a Happy New Years feel good crowd onboard. So I am glad to know it is a non-event ... I may have been disappointed. I grabbed a sleeper at the end of March going Eastbound. I would love to do May but have to work around a...

I am curious to find others' opinions on which month/which train they most enjoy when taking a long distance train trip. I was considering booking the Empire Builder for the New Years, but don't know if it will be overly crowded or short staffed at that time? Or if it puts it more at risk of...

I am very curious. How did you like the room? And how was your guys trip?

I apologize in advance if this has been previously discussed. Is there a set order of the sleeper cars? For instance if you have a roomette in 1430 on the Coast Starlight...will that car always be ahead (closer to the engine) of the 1431 car? I have an upcoming trip on the Coast Starlight and...

I am a newbie on here, too. Believe it or not I also am taking the Texas Eagle...in the same roomette 6 and Car 2130! I go in August. The room is upper level. Here is the link I think you are looking for: Sleeping Car Layout from Train Web
