Apparently Amtrak is now assigning seats in whatever they pass off as "business class" in the NEC, which in reality is just a glorified coach. I was just assigned seat 2A for a trip in "business class" from NYC to Charlottesville. Considering that Amfleet cars have some seats next to a solid wall (no window) as well as many seats that just have a small bit of a small window, I am worried I am going to be stuck without much of a view. Are there any standards, or car diagrams, that show how these seats are situated relative to windows?
Here are some half-decent seat diagrams, they don't have numbers, however. http://www.craigmashburn.com/amtrakcardiagrams.html
Also if you can change via the 1800 number, I would consider it. 2 is likely to be at the very end and it's best to sit in the middle for ride quality. It's not as bad an single-level cars where the bathrooms and luggage take up the ends of the cars, but in a superliner where seats/beds go right up to the bulkhead, the quality of ride in the center is noticeably better than outboard of the trucks.
