Mine was the opposite. We had broken A/C in the rooms on the CZ during a summer trip. It made sleeping difficult. I woke up sweating and very thirsty. The A/C still worked in the hallways, and that kept us from melting completely into a puddle. The car was a Superliner I named "George M. Pullman." Otherwise it was a great trip. The on-board service was top notch. Without our even asking, our car attendant arranged refunds on the sleeper portion of our fare because of the busted A/C.
The night of our return trip was one of our best. The car was comfortablly cool and we turned out the lights to watch lightning outside.

A Superliner upstairs standard room on the short-lived Kentucky Cardinal. The track from Louisville to Indianapolis was in such bad shape that even at 30mph the tall varnish would really rock back and forth. I didn't get to sleep until after we arrived in Indianapolis........I was worried that the car would derail and pitch over on it's side while the train was in motion.

I can tell you mine. It's trying to stay awake when you go to work at 11;30pm at Sac and you don't get off work until 9;00am the next morning at KFS. You guys are all cuddled up in your sleepers getting a good night's sleep while me and the other Conductor's and Engineer's try to stay awake too keep you and your family safe and give you a good ride through the night. But it's all in a night's work.
