We arrived in Chicago at 12.40pm Thursday 21 November (nearly 3 hours late!) after the first leg of our train trip across America! We left New York at 3.40pm in our little Antrak roomette!! The 'sleeping car' has 4 'double rooms with shower, loo etc' then 10 roomettes opposite each other with 'hallway' down the middle.
We sat opposite each other with loo (lid up to greet us when we first arrived!) & sink above it on one side of a seat. There was a shower at the end of the hallway, for the roometters. We didn't bother. The seats made up into the bottom bunk & our lovely carriage attendant, Maria pulled down the top bunk when you were ready to go to bed.
Drinks in room and meals provided free in the dining car when you have a sleeper! Juice, water coffee, tea - help yourself. We both had 3 course dinner (salad followed by steak & baked potato & vegies followed by triple chocolate moose for B & sherbert/ icecream/ gelato for W). For breakfast full cooked or Continental - really nicely cooked & presented.
Each car has an attendant, checks if you want anything all the time and gives you information as you go along.
I didn't even have time to get my Kindle out! Time passed very quickly and both really enjoyed it all!
