Not too sure how likely it is in the U.S.anymore, but at least until recently you could do it in China. I spent some wonderful nights last November in a sleeping compartment behind a hard working 2-10-2. You could feel the pulsing of the pistons, expecially on the grades when it was down to a crawl, and occasionally the bark of the stack (although the Chinese engines tend to speak softly). A great way to go to sleep.
