On the Crescent from Charlotte to Atlanta, I was in a different kind of roomette. This one was in an older style car. It wasn’t the usual long-distance double-decker car, but rather was a single story and maybe the car was a touch wider overall. The roomette I had (all of them were like this I supposed) had its own bathroom, but still taking up almost no space. It had both a sink which opened (note the drain holes in the back–it drained when you closed it) and a toilet tucked in.

The train also had a cool older diner car with a great door. Here’s a look into the car from outside its door.

I will be taking the Crescent northbound when I leave Atlanta on Wednesday. It will take me to Alexandria and then I’ll grab another train for the short jaunt to Richmond. I wonder if the facilities will be the same…
