I received four copies of the following email from Amtrak, probably because my trip has four segments. There's no new news here, I already saw this on the USA Today website. No mention of sleeping cars so I assume nothing new in that department. That's not a problem for me, I'm OK with the Viewliners. I was just curious if the new ones were coming before my trip. Does anyone know where the onboard Sleeping Car passenger lounge is?
