We (dear wife and I) are taking cross country trains in a couple weeks and I have just discovered this forum.
We will take the Southwest Chief from Chicago to L.A. with a 2 day stopover in Albuquerque, and then a week of more later, we will take the California Zephyr from Emeryville to Chicago (straight thru). We have reservations for the Superliner Bedroom on all segments.
I have several newbie questions, as we have not traveled overnight trains in the US.

I have several newbie questions, as we have not traveled overnight trains in the US.
- Are we allowed / is there room to take 2 full size suitcases, and 2 overnight bags into the Superliner Bedrooms?
- Are there limits on the electrical outlets in the bedrooms (cell phone chargers, IPad chargers, hair dryers, flat irons, etc.)?
- Does anyone have any photo's they can post of the Superliner Bedrooms? I see the animation on the Amtrak web site, but pictures can show so much more.
- Are the meals served at set times or do we just wander into the dining cars anytime in the hours they are open?
