My wife and I are doing the entire trip from Seattle to NYC in a couple weeks (midDec). We have a superliner bedroom to Chicago and are wondering, judt for comfort, whether it is better to have an upper or lower room? Do the temperatures fluctuate much? Noise levels due to doors, traffic to showers etc? What is the better side of the train to be on eastbound, as far as stuff to look at etc?

Any comments on the viewliner roomette that we have from Chi to NY would be appreciated as well.

We are later continuing on to Montreal on Amtrak, and Ottawa on VIA if you have any other tips.

THANKS!

well if you dont want sun hitting you in the face all day sit on the northern side of the train as the sun is mostly on the southern end of the horizon most of the day.
