I have ridden on a Superliner sleeper four times this year (roundtrip from Austin to LAX and twice from Emeryville to Denver).  In addition, I have been on a coach twice between Taylor, Texas, and Fort Worth or Dallas.  On three of the trips I noticed a profound odor coming from the toilets.  It could be smelled throughout the lower level of the cars.  Twice it was on the sleepers and once on a coach.   Periodically, as I did this morning, I drive over to Taylor, Texas to watch the Texas Eagle.  This morning, as well as on another occasion, I noticed a pungent odor that was not present before the train arrived or after it departed.  It appeared to be coming from the coaches. Does anyone know whether the odors are coming from the toilets because they are old, probably worn, and not functioning properly, or it is because Amtrak is using a different chemical in its toilets that is giving off the odor?
