Thanks for posting this. It's nice to see a first-timer give a fairly decent review with the closest thing to a criticism being dated analog controls in the Roomette.
They would have really loved the mini LCD screens playing the feed off of the VCRs at the end of the car. Especially when the tape was bad, or the machine rewound at the end....That didn't last long.....
Apparently the author didn't know that only Eastern trains have toilets in the roomettes. Hope no one after reading this books a Superliner roomette expecting a private toilet.
