I'm surprised they sold those births for revenue service. I rode the Idaho Falls setout sleeper a few years earlier in a roomette, and had my "meals" in that buffet. I assumed the remaining berths were assigned to the crew. Any one here know what train had the last regular line open section for revenue sale in the U.S.?
