[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doodlebug: [QB] I know this topic was last discussed weeks ago, but my copy of Trains magazine has arrived with some answers to the original question of why some Superliner trains now carry their sleepers on the rear. It has to do with the sale of rooms in the transition sleeper, or crew dorm car, to passengers as a source of additional revenue on these trains. On trains where only four roomettes in the transition sleeper are available for sale to regular passengers, service to these cars will be provided by the attendant from the adjacent sleeper. However, on the [i]Coast Starlight, Southwest Chief [/i]and [i]California Zephyr,[/i] on which six to eight rooms in the transition sleeper will be sold, sleepers have been moved to the rear so that a coach attendant is adjacent and can serve those passengers. During the summer there is an extra coach attendant on these trains because of increased passenger load and this procedure doesn't over-burden the sleeper attendants. According to the magazine, this policy will be in force through the fall. [/QB][/QUOTE]
