    Viewliner II Part 4: Sleeping Car production, delivery, deployment

    The train braked fast and the door slammed shut, locked, with the curtain caught between the door and the frame.. I had to pull the curtain to be able the unlock and open the door. Door wouldn’t unlock with the curtain stuck, got real nervous.

    Viewliner II Part 4: Sleeping Car production, delivery, deployment

    I felt like I was in the theme song of from Cheers. “Where everybody know your name.” When we arrived at the station, I went to the ticket counter to ask which side the train was boarding, I was greeted by my name. The SRA greeted me by my name as did the conductor. No one asked to see my...

    No velcro to attach the curtain to the door frame. Door lock is a little hard to get used to.

    Viewliner II Part 4: Sleeping Car production, delivery, deployment

    The thermostat doesn’t work. Outlets galore. Sink water very user friendly. It you tap gently you’ll get less water. If you actually press it all the way without holding down, you’ll get enough water to wash and rinse your hands. There is a stopper if you want to fill the basin. Pullout door...

    If you look at my pics, you will see the ladder was placed behind the single seat. H Room’s bathroom in open. No alcove, no nothing. The coffee pot is there, but not in use.

    Viewliner II Part 4: Sleeping Car production, delivery, deployment

    We are currently in the new bedroom. So far so good. First impressions. Nice. Coffee is very good. That’s a big plus. Without the closet to hold the ladder, the bathroom is larger.

    Moynihan Station

    I don’t know if this has been asked and answered before, but we’ll be coming out of the Moynihan station looking to go uptown. Do we have to cross the street to get a taxi in front of the old Penn Station, or can I stay on the Moynihan side and grab a cab? We’re going to Port Authority...

    Is the coffee station back?

    When we cruise, we always order room service for our morning coffee. We’re delivered a pot or 2 with what ever else we want. So much easier than getting it yourself, unless you want a specialty coffee. As far as the coffee station on Amtrak, yes, I’d rather it be there to be able to get it...

    Craziest Drama on Amtrak you've seen?

    I’ve seen service dogs, many times on cruises. They were all so very well behaved. I did read one time, that a lady brought her little service lap dog into the main dining room. She proceeded to let that little mutt eat out of her plate. So glad I wasn’t there to witness that.

    "The Dining Car Problem"

    I travel the Silvers. It would be nice if they had one menu for north bound and a different menu for south bound.

    Amtrak dining and cafe service

    I really think/hope they were just understaffed. 2 SCA’s taking care of 3 cars. Only 1 person microwaving meals. I hope it’s better when we leave end of May, first of June. We’re too old to carry our meals 3 cars.
