"''Tis better to be lost, and to know it; than to believe confidently that one is, where one is not"....So what's better? A broken clock or one that is off 1 second a minute?

On this video it has a VII in what I assume is the xx11 and xx12. Seems like xx12 always has a VII.A video that was posted on Facebook today showed a VII in the xx10 position, VI in xx11, and VII in xx12.
I hope you enjoy it!Thanks for the video. It still looks like being in the xx12 car is a good bet to get the Viewliner II. I will report back next month after my trip.
My sleeper is a Viewliner 1, named Croton River. The last sleeper is named “Rivanna River” and is a 65000 series. I believe that’s a 2? Mine has a 62000 number.
Great! I wish we could get all of our sleepers to be on par with them..OP here and I am currently on the Metror in the 9812 car. It is a Viewliner II and it is very nice. I especially like the sinks in the room and the bathroom. No more spraying water all over the place. Only downside is WiFi has not yet been installed on the new car. The other sleepers as well as the dining car and the cafe have wifi working. By the way 9810 and 9811 are both Viewliner I cars.
That's a shame. They were delivered - what? - 6 months ago or more?Only downside is WiFi has not yet been installed on the new car.
Can you get pictures of the roomette and bedroom?OP here and I am currently on the Metror in the 9812 car. It is a Viewliner II and it is very nice.

Yeah seriously! The delays never end!That's a shame. They were delivered - what? - 6 months ago or more?
Dropping a deuce in a viewliner roomette could be uncomfortable if your traveling with someone your not real familiar with, otherwise its convenient in certain situations. Suggest closing curtains while stopped at a station.
Yea, I'm still not excited for that part of the viewliner experience this summer. I doubt they will have put Viewliner II's on the CardinalOur unwritten rule is that the traveling companion goes for a walk, when the toilet needs to be used in this manor. Go look out the hallway windows across from the bedrooms. Go look out the vestibule door/windows.
We're getting two roomettes on the Cardinal across from each other for a June trip to the west because of this - and the fact that we can both sleep in lower beds. Cheaper than 1 bedroom.Yea, I'm still not excited for that part of the viewliner experience this summer. I doubt they will have put Viewliner II's on the Cardinal
Yea, this trip is on a budget or else I would've liked to get a bedroom. Oh well.We're getting two roomettes on the Cardinal across from each other for a June trip to the west because of this - and the fact that we can both sleep in lower beds. Cheaper than 1 bedroom.

There is one Viewliner I Sleeper in Phase III livery. I have traveled in it. I don’t remember its number or name.Correct, that is a Viewliner 2. All Viewliner 2's are in that paint scheme.
Viewliner 1's are in this paint scheme: View attachment 20844

Why? One less car to be painted when they start converting the VLI'sWell that just sucks
It can get ones hopes up if they don't know the number.Why? One less car to be painted when they start converting the VLI's
Does Amtrak have enough VL II's delivered that the Silvers will soon be all VL II?FYI - All Silver Service trainsets are now operating with Viewliner IIs in the xx10 and xx12 car positions this week.
