The pictures and write up was very good. Much thanks to ya. Were the roomette bunks about the size of those used on the FLD120's or Centurys? <br /> <br />I would say that the bottom bed in the roomettes is about the same size as the top bunk in a century. the top bunk in the roomette is about 6 inches narrower, and both of them are about 6 inches shorter <br /> <br />What about drinking water? Were you permitted to carry your own or did the train have it? <br /> <br />they had a couple of small bottles of water in each room for free when we first got on. i didnt notice if there was any other drinking water taps. but you can bring your own drinks and food on the train. just load up a small cooler and you are good to go. <br /> <br />Was the dining car sway from being so high off the track? I recall a railfan flat car years ago with high seating that really demanded strong stomaches. <br /> <br />I dont know why the dining car rode rough. it might have been the extra weight. but it wasnt too bad. <br /> <br />What about the food? Did they hand you the bill or was it part of the fare you paid before getting on the train? <br /> <br />the food is included if you have a room. you have to pay if you only have a coach seat. and it is pretty expensive. <br /> <br />Did the room have enviornmental controls or other features for the passenger? Or just a bed? <br /> <br />yes, the room has air temp. controls. it also has a small table between the chairs, reading lights, and one outlet if you want to plug in a computer or something. <br />
