[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mr. Toy: [QB] I remember when the sleepers were always at the rear. But it really doesn't make sense to put them there if Amtrak is (as it should be) using part of the Transition Sleepers for revenue space. Why would a coach attendant, who is already responsible for one and a half to two cars with up to 70 people each, want to take on the added responsibility of half a sleeper? I don't know what the noise issue is. A sleeper pretty much sounds the same at either end. I guess some may be bothered by the horn, but its pretty muffled inside the car, even the frontmost sleeper. The natural noises inside the car are more prominent. Personally I don't care where the sleepers are, as long as I get one when I need it at a decent price. But until somebody here confirms the change, I will chalk it up as rumor. How often have we heard "on another forum..."? Like the recent one about the Crescent replacing the Sunset. Sometimes these stories get started as someone saw a train which was reversed, (which sometimes happens when there isn't enough turn around time) and once or twice repeated it becomes Amtrak's new "policy."
