Trip Report; Amtrak #6 w/ 2 Phase VII p42's
Author: OmahaTom

Riding with the old lady Glenwood Springs to Omaha today. Couldn't have asked for a better day! We purchased a full bedroom for the trip which was great until we learned that all the bathrooms in our car were not working. They said Amtrak would give us an upgrade on a future trip, at least,.. being that a big selling point of the bedrooms is having your own toilet. Still a great trip though. Been running pretty much on time.

Thanks for the pics, video, and post.  So you ended up in coach rather than a bedroom?  That is quite the downgrade!

Enjoy, and let me know how you sleep.  I have considered a night in coach a couple times lately when the sleepers have been booked.  My other half is game, I am not so sure!  I last rode overnight in coach probably 20 years ago, in my 30s.

No no, we were still in a bedroom, just with no working toilet. The bedroom is still awesome, even if the loo doesnt work, what with all of the extra space. The shower still worked too at least. I slept like a baby!
