I was on 11(7) in the Family Bedroom. Our car attendent said we lucked out as there was only 1. I looked at the consist and indeed there is only 1 regular sleeper plus the TransDorm. Is it normal just to have an 1130 sleeper. Both the Sleeper Car and TransDorm have SCA's so I assume the train is normally staffed as if there were two regular sleepers. There are several revenue passengers assigned in the TransDorm. There are 3 coach cars bringing up the rear.
The PPC has plenty of open space and the dining car was much more open at meals. Is this a case of fleet management based on lower sales for this trip or maybe a BO sleeping car? Either way it is nice and quiet (though probably not a good day for business). The train just looks short.
I booked the trip a few hours before departure. Roomettes were at the low bucket. Bedrooms were at the 2nd highest with 2 rooms left. Family Bedroom was somewhere in the middle with one room. Coach seats were at the 2nd highest bucket. At least with fewer people we have been arriving early to most of our stops!
