Window curtains OPEN

Door curtain CLOSED

I love lying there watching the world go by, and the train lulls me to sleep.

I've been stuck sleeping on the upper bed on the Superliner, and don't get the veiw. :-(

This year, I am gong to make my partner sleep on top if there's a storm out in the distance, and want to see the lighting!

Please tell us if you prefer sleeping in your roomette or bedroom with the curtains open or closed at night and why?

Open. If its dark in the room so you can see out, its difficult for someone outside to see in. If you're upper level on a Superliner, its even more difficult to look in.

I'm referring to an upper level room/roomette, NOT an upper bunk!

It's not totally impossible however.

The person from the outside would have to be a ways away from the train to see in. I'm not sure if you can actually see much detail looking from outside at an upper floor of the Superliner. I think you can see if they are sitting by the window, but not much more. Of course, it would be a good idea to close those if you are changing clothes, etc., even during the day.

Kansas is very dark at night

WOW, so is Florida!!! :lol:

Sorry couldnt resist!!!

What I meant was: Kansas has zero light pollution at night. It's not like other areas where you go through city after city after city and have a pretty constant onslaught of streetlights and such.

Thanks Anthony and Jim Hudson.

OK, so I take it that you cannot see out the window in a Superliner from the upper bunk. Is that right?

Correct.

Unless you are Superman and have X-Ray Vision! :lol:

I marked CLOSED since until after I voted, I assumed it was INSIDE curtains. At night the OUTSIDE curtains are always left open. About the only chance of someone seeing you is if you are in the Lower of a Viewliner or in a Lower Room on a Superliner.

That is the same thing I did and do. Need to be more specific!

Well, you can see the ground or adjacent tracks it there are any. ;-)

Yeah, that's pretty much all I saw from the upper bunk looking down through the top of the window. I was able to see a sign at Pittsburgh indicating where we were which explained why we were not moving for a while.

The bottom line is, it doesn't bother me if someone sees in, day or night. I want to see out, day or night!

I was figuring more of the curtains to the hallway while I was sleeping. I don't mind the outside ones open but my travel companion is the type who likes black out curtains and wears an eye mask at night to block out all the light. I prefer to have all the curtains open (inside and outside windows) and often times the door to the hallway as well during the daytime when I'm awake. If I leave the room I like closing the hallway curtains.

You do know that this topic is about 3/4ths of a year old?

 

[roadman3313]

Yeah... just popped up to the top again after someone voted so I just thought to comment on it. Hadn't done so before.
