I am a smoker. Am I just out-a-luck on the Sunset.
In both directions on the Capitol Limited, the upper-level of the Coach Smoking was tolerable and the cigarette odor was not too strong. However, others have their own tolerances on cigarette smoke.Anthony said:Unfortunately, for the poor souls seated in the upstairs section of the Coach Smoking car, they get to smell cigarette smoke for days as it finds its way upstairs.
It's pretty bad on the SW Chief on the second night going west...Amfleet said:In both directions on the Capitol Limited, the upper-level of the Coach Smoking was tolerable and the cigarette odor was not too strong. However, others have their own tolerances on cigarette smoke.
I had this problem really bad on the Empire Builder a few years ago. It was as if I was sitting in the smoking lounge itself!Anthony said:Unfortunately, for the poor souls seated in the upstairs section of the Coach Smoking car, they get to smell cigarette smoke for days as it finds its way upstairs.
If I remember correctly, on the Coach Smokers the door that leads into the smoking lounge is the same as the doors that lead to the next car on the upper-level (which can tend to stick or slide close very slowly). The door on the Auto Train Lounge is not automatic, but does shut all by itself (like a door leading into a shopping store).battalion51 said:Well the difference is this, on the Smoking Coaches the door can stay open, not the case on the AT lounges (automatic door). As for the Sunsets exact smoking policy, the timetable states that there are smoking stops, this can vary on the actual crew though. Other crews will allow the smokers to use the lower level of the Snack Coach as their smoking room, but again it varies by crew and consist type.
