On our recent trip I was reading the safety information card and noticed one of the cars indicated along the top had ALL bedrooms, no roomettes. What trains carry these cars?

The Auto-Train, which carries a greater percentage of upscale passengers (many of them retirees) than any other Amtrak train apart from the Acela.

I am curious if there is any place on the internet with these layouts?

SubwayNut, I don't know if you mean the standard layouts or the Auto Train-specific layouts. Here's the former:
I'm assuming there is room for five additional Bedrooms on the Auto Train cars on the upper level. What is the lower level like?

I have had the family bedroom on Auto Train and was booked in one of these "deluxe sleepers" (as they are called.) The lower level is identical to any other Superliner II - 1 family room, 4 roomettes, and an accessible bedroom. These are the cars to be booked in if you are booking a family room or roomette... since all of the rooms upstairs have their own lavatory and shower, you are sharing the toilets and shower only with those folks with you downstairs. So they stay cleaner (and you are more likely to have them unoccupied whn you need one!)
