My wife and I rode the SW Chief last July from LA to Chicago. Got a sleeper (which as was pointed out earlier was tacked onto the end). The car was recently refurbished and looked and rode like new. The attendants were very nice to us. The scenery was fantastic. Going up Raton pass you can see the whole train from front to back from the lounge car. Rally neat. My wife slept almost he entire way from Raton to Chicago. She got lots of rest (half the purpose of the trip) and we got really great scenery to view especially through Colorado and New Mexico. There was a park ranger who gave a talk in the lounge car as we were going through New Mexico, and he told us some of the history of the area we were travelling through. A great trip worth taking.
