The sleepers are all individual rooms of some description with 1-2 beds. There are some larger up to 4 adults. There are no hostel style bunk cars on trains. You're either sleeping in seats or in a room.

- dagw 8y agoThen $1000 doesn't seem that expensive really, especially if that includes in-room shower and toilet
- CWuestefeld 8y agoCommon showers, but this wasn't a problem at all for us. The NY<->Chicago line had toilets in the compartment - but I mean in the compartment, not a separate bathroom. So not so great. The California Zephyr (Chicago<->SF) has common toilets. The one in our sleeper car was broken for the whole trip, for which Amtrak only gave us the slightest nod of recognition.
