I realize this topic has been broached countless times, but it's been awhile and I'm prepping for a northbound trip from LAX to PDX in late May. I am set for roomette 5 in car 1432. It seems it's a roll of the dice, but what are the chances that I get an ocean side view? Looking at car diagrams it appears my odds are rather low, as it seems more often than not the odd rooms are on the right side of the car, heading in direction of travel. Is it worth trying to make a switch to the opposite side of the car? If memory serves, on the second morning of the trip the views are better on the right side of the train. However, I have never ridden northbound out of LAX so I'd like that experience. Appreciate the guidance.
