Who woulda thunk it? :blink:Just as TR7 indicated.
Maybe I’ll see them (I’m currently on #49, nearing Poughkeepsie).There are photos posted "elsewhere" showing 62502 - Rapidan River and 68000 Albany, enroute from CAF to Albany.

Here's a video from yesterday by 95 TRAINSPOTTER of the Silver Meteor with the Albany as the second-to-last car.
I'm confused. Don't all Viewliners (I & II) have 6 Rommettes per side, with both sides adding to 12 Rommettes total?Wow, even with three coaches instead of the normal five, that is one long train.
It is also a bit weird seeing a Viewliner Sleeper with only six Roomettes on one side. We really are approaching the end of Roomette en suites.
Yep. Dead on.
If they were able to fit a toilet, sink, and two seats that fold into a bed, into every Roomette, I don’t see how it’s difficult at all to fit just two toilet modules in place of one Roomette. And every sleeper still has one Accessible Bedroom with a bathroom in it anyway, so I don’t see much issue with these shared restrooms for Roomette passengers being somewhat small. I mean, anyone who was physically capable of using the in-Roomette toilets before, will be able to use these, and anyone who needed the Accessible Bedroom instead will still have that option.Do they really fit two toilets in the space of one roomette? Doubt they would be handicapped accessible. It is almost worth walking to the nearest coach to use the large toilet...
If you've ever ridden in a Superliner Sleeper and have used the upstairs bathroom, it's roughly half the size of a Rommette. I imagine Amtrak could fit two small but comfortable bathrooms in the space of a Viewliner Roomette.Do they really fit two toilets in the space of one roomette?

It’s hard to gauge the actual size of something from a diagram like that. Each of those bathrooms are objectively half the size of one Roomette, equating to 3’6” by about 3’4”. Seems large enough.I have used such a facility and found it quite acceptable. However, given the recent posting of a Viewliner II diagram on AU showing the two restrooms at the end of the car across from the shower room makes me also wonder about its size. Looks about the size of those restrooms, if that, on even the newest aircraft, which in my opinion, are smaller than those on older aircraft.
I’m pretty sure it means that they’re scheduled to enter service for the first time on some particular date.
The thought that certain aircraft bathrooms are now smaller is not opinion, it is fact. It varies by airline, and may appear on an older aircraft also, if the airline redoes the interior. 7 extra inches lets me have 2 more rows of "extra legroom seating" or if I want, a few less premium rows, but another full row.
