We have taken the train for the last three years. We got the bedroom that had a small private bathroom/shower combination, upper and lower bunks and enough outlets to run our stuff. We sleep well since the movement of the train tends to rock us to sleep. The train allowed us to fill the car with stuff that we need....specifically the foods we can't get here. Since we moved, not sure we will need the train again but we did enjoy the experience. Met new people, dinning room had fair food and the scenery is always fun. They have reduced the amenities over the last couple years and it is becoming more of a transportation only experience but it does beat driving. Kids and grand kids are visiting in June and they will take the train one way. Don't go coach.
