I rode the Empire Builder between St. Paul & Minot two years ago, with the explicit purpose of experiencing a trip in the sleeping cars.  I went to Minot in a roommette, and had a bedroom on the way back.  The roommette, literally, afforded me about 6 inches of space on either side of my butt.  Being closer to the tracks (lower level), the clickety-clack was louder until we reached the concrete ties and welded rails west of Grand Forks I believe it was.  Gettin' dressed was a contortionist act, and the thought crossed my mind:  In the unlikely event of a derailment in late-December weather, what's the appropriate sleeping attire?  How long could you survive in your PJ's?  The bedroom was more comfortable and I slept pretty well (but the shower/lavatory in the room was a joke - I used the shower downstairs).  The baked cookies they provided for a bedtime snack were excellent and the dining car food was quite good.
