I am trying to find out if any Viewliner II sleepers are regularly on the current Silver Meteor consist. If so, what is the best way to snag a roomette in one of the new cars?
I have seen some posts in the long Viewliner II thread that indicate the xx12 car is usually a Viewliner II. I am trying to get some guidance from Amtrak reservations without much help in 3 separate calls. Here is what they are telling me:

- They have no way of knowing which cars are the Viewliner IIs, or if a Viewliner II will be on a specific train on a specific day.
- One said they could not assign a specific car or room number.
- One said I could request a car, but the 9812 and 9712 cars on the two trains I am looking at do not come up as available cars. Not sure if this means they are sold out or they are not on the train.
- One really did not understand what I wanted.
