[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] As stated earlier, I prefer the Superliner Standard to that of the Viewliner. The reason is simply known as space. First, I do not think the in room "facilties" are an advantage; the principal reason is that when parties of two are occupying a Viewliner Standard, one must leave the room while the other "engages". This resulted in a situation I observed on a June Lake Shore trip where half-clad males were standing about the hallway. I have never observed same on a Superliner. The in room facilities result in a narrower bed than in the Superliner. Further, the communal shower in the Superliners has considerably more room available than same in the Viewliner. Also, on now two occasions, I have had to remove the luggage stored in the Shower room simply so that I could make use of such. While to do so was annoying, I kept those thought to myself simply because there was nowhere else to stow it. The Superliner simply has so much more space for storing carry-on luggage. To me, the walk down the hall "to go" is simply "no big deal". I will readily acknowledge that the upper level windows give the Viewliner a "light and airy" feeling; also, the in-room video system hopefully means less of those incursions into lounge car "chatting and viewing" time. I would think that the video system could be "retroed" into the existing Superliner fleet; the upper level windows likely will have to wait for an order of Superliner III's. But in short, in economy sleeper discussions both here and on railroad.net, I have made the comment that "the Amtrak economy sleeping accomodation is already here; it's called the Viewliner Standard.
