[quote user="jpwc50"]Just made an on-line reservation for the Southwest Chief from Fullerton,CA to Kansas City. I'm assigned to Roomette #012 in car #430. Does anyone know if this roomette # is on the upper or lower level?? Also, how are the car numbers placed within the train? I understand that the "4" in the car number is actually the train number with the "30" being the sleeper number. Are the sleepers numbered consecutively front to rear ie: 430,431,432??[/quote]The best way to see what you are in for is to go to Amtrak.com, click on Traveling with Amtrak, click on On Board - Sleeping Accommodations, click on the Superliner Sleeping car icon, and take the visual tour of the car.   Roomette #12 is on the lower level.  Or it least it is on the Sunset Limited, Texas Eagle, and Capitol Limited, which are the trains that I have ridden over the past year or so.  In fact, on my last trip on the Sunset, which was in February, I had Roomette #12 from El Paso to Austin.The first number is the train number followed by the car number.  Thus, the numbers for the Eagle sleeper are 2130 and 2230.  The Eagle only has one sleeper, unless it sells out, in which case passengers may be booked in the transition sleeper, or at least I think that is what happens.  I don't know the order of the sleepers on the Southwest Chief.  I suspect that they differ depending on whether train is the westbound version or eastbound version.
