Amtrak Superliner Sleeping Car Accommodations

EXPLORER ROOM (Roomette) for 1 or 2.

 

Private rooms located on both the upper and lower levels of the car.  Daytime amenities: two sofa seats facing one another, with fold-up table between. Nighttime amenities: lower bed 6'6" long by 2"4" wide. Upper bed 6'2" long by 2' wide. Room does not have a toilet or wash basin.  These facilities are located nearby, both on the upper and lower level of the car.  A shower is located on the lower level.  Space for baggage is located under the seats.  Up to 2 bags not exceeding 8" thick and 24" long can be accommodated in the room.  Larger articles may be stored in the luggage racks on the lower level of the car and are accessible during the trip.


SUPERIOR ROOM (Deluxe Bedroom) for 2 people. 

Private room located on the upper level of the car with wash basin, toilet and shower.  Daytime amenities: long sofa plus sofa chair. Fold-up table.  Nighttime amenities: lower bed 6'6" long by 3'4" wide. Upper bed 6'2" long by 2' wide accessed by climbing a ladder. In newer Superliner II cars, upper bed is 2'4" wide. Limited space for luggage.  Two medium size articles not exceeding 8" thick and 24" long may be stored under the sofa seat.  Other luggage is left in the luggage racks on the lower level of the car, and may be accessed during the trip. Note that one room, room "A" has slightly less usable floor space than the other deluxe bedrooms.  Amtrak considers both room layouts equivalent.


FAMILY ROOM for 2 adults or 2 adults and up to 2 children.

There is one room per car, on the lower level.  The room extends the full width of the car, so there are windows on both sides of the room.  Does not have private toilet or wash basin.  These facilities are located a short distance away on the same level.  Daytime amenities: long sofa, plus two sofa seats which face one another, with fold-up table.  Nighttime amenities: two lower beds, one 6'4" long by 3'2" wide, and one (for children or small adults) 4'9" long by 2' wide.  Also two upper beds, one 6'2" long by 2' wide, and one (for children or small adults) 4'9" long by 2' wide. 

Since there are only 1 or 2 family rooms per train, Mountain Outin' does not list this type of accommodation in our travel brochures, though it may be available.  Please contact Mountain Outin' for price and availability.


 

ACCESSIBLE ROOM for 2

This room is designed to accommodate travelers with mobility impairments.  It is located on the lower level of the car, and extends the full width of the car, with windows on both sides of the room.  The room has a wash basin and toilet.  Daytime amenities: two sofa seats facing one another, with fold-up table.  Nighttime amenities: lower bed 6'6" long by 2'4" wide, and upper bed 6'2" long by 2' wide.  The seats/beds are the same size and arrangement as in the Roomette, though the room overall is over twice as spacious.  Ample storage space for luggage.  Shower is located nearby on the same level.

Advance sale of this room is restricted to those with mobility impairments, defined by the courts as "a person with a physical impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities and results in a need for one or more of the access features of the Accessible Bedrooms on Amtrak rail cars, which include, among other features, more maneuvering room, grab bars and accessible restroom facilities."  Clients requesting this room may self-certify that they meet the stated restrictions.  It is not required that the client state the nature of their disability.

Because there is usually only one or two Accessible Bedrooms per train, Mountain Outin' travel brochures do not list this type of room, though it may be available.  Please contact Mountain Outin' for fare and availability.
