rcdrye Individual seat pairs on Superliners and Amfleet (both I and II) can be rotated without removing them. It's not an easy task, so it's not done any more than absolutely necessary.

I rode the Texas Eagle/Sunset Limited in the through coach from Little Rock to Los Angeles earlier this year. At San Antonio, in addition to the car being switched over to the Sunset Limited, the conductors went through and rotated the seats so they'd still be facing forward on the new train. One set of chairs was stuck and after the conductor worked on it for a while, he decided it was better to leave it as was. So in a sea of forward facing seats, we now had one seating group with seats facing each other. The car wasn't so full that anyone actually had to ride backwards from San Antonio to LA.
The whole chair turning process didn't take more than maybe 10 minutes for the car. It was fascinating to get to see it happen though.
