I normally travel on east coast Viewliners, but will be making a trip on the Capital Limited in March--my first in a Superliner. I am curious about something:
All east coast trains run their Viewliners with the "B" end toward the locomotive (vestibule-front), so the odd numbered roomettes are on the right side of the train. I would assume that this symmetry exists to help avoid confusion between both passengers and the crew servicing these cars, moreso than someone's OCD getting a little extreme. Even Amfleet II coaches are run on LD trains "B" end forward (vestibule-rear), with the exception of the Pennsylvanian and Palmetto.
Since I am not familiar with Superliner trainsets, does this symmetry exsist on these trains as well?
