I was watching a documentary on railways in the UK and I noticed that on their version of long-haul routes (what would amount to corridors for us), the Train Managers (conductors) have a dedicated and lockable room that contains a PA interface, storage space for their equipment, and other control panels (probably for climate control, lighting, etc).
I don’t believe that Amtrak has anything like that currently, but would that be something to incorporate into future coach designs? Right now I think the conductors hang out in the cafe car on corridor trains and the lounges on LD services.
