Next month I am going to take my third train trip, first over night. Previously I've traveled from New Orleans to Atlanta via the Crescent. This upcoming trip I'm traveling from New Orleans to Chicago. I've only discovered this forum today and am glad to have a place to ask some of my unanswered questions.
1. I know the meals for passengers in the sleeper cars are complimentary, but how do they know that you're in the sleeper car? I admit that it's been 3-4 years since I last took the train to Atlanta and don't remember if they asked if I was sitting in coach or not. Also, related to this, I guess tipping will be based on an estimate of the meal since the only time I will see pricing is when I look at the menu?
2. I have seen plenty of videos on YouTube of people in sleeper cars showing where the large luggage is stored. Is this the same as checking your baggage? I anticipate one large suitcase and just one backpack to keep with me in the roomette.
