Amtrak offers three different coach styles,
Viewliners and Acela are single deck whereas Superliners are double deck
coaches.
Of these, Acela are day trains, something like
Intercity Express in Indian Railway. I am not covering them.
Viewliners and Superliners are used by long
distance trains. Types of accommodation offered by them remains more or less
same with few major differences. Viewliners do not offer family bedroom and
Sightseer lounge car.
IMHO, Roomette compares very favorably to AC1
coupe. Bedroom, Family Bedroom and Accessible bedroom are unique to Amtrak
(compared to IR only, as other RRs may offer similar or better accommodation).
