Just curious. On our cross-country trip last month, we had two kinds of roomettes:
1) The EB (#27) had a roomette with a closet - a door to a small compartment with a rail from which two hangers hang. Also, in the car, the shower (downstairs) had a glass door that shut with magnetic latches (iirc). The same was on #6.
2) The CS (#11) roomette was different. Instead of a closet, there was a hook, with a strap to hold your clothes and keep them from swinging into the seat adjacent. Shower had a regular shower curtain.
#2 struck me as being an older design.
That true? What's the age of both of those cars?
Any preferences (I liked #1 better!)?
Are there any other differences I missed?
