47 hrs in an Amtrak train Bedroom - Portland to Chicago

For this trip my wife, son, and I travel from Portland, Oregon to Chicago, Illinois by Amtrak train. We purchased bedroom in the sleeper car that we shared for around 48 hours. We got to see a handful of new states and spend a lot of time together which we all greatly enjoyed. There are a few things that I included here in my experience that I didn't know about prior to riding Amtrak that may help you prepare for your future trip. Thanks for watching!
