I am new to train travel and have yet to take my first trip. In another thread I was asking tons of questions about accommodations and somehow the subject of toilets came up; roomettes or bedroom. THEN I happened to read some posts of dirty hall toilets: one of the genders is not that...

OK..first I wanted to get a bedroom with one of those tiny bathrooms and showers, then several posted that roomettes were money savers and hall bathrooms weren't so bad. Then I looked at 2 Silver Meteor roomette videos with the toilet right next to the table and bed, swore I'd never RIDE ...
