You have a couple of lodging options in the train. You can stay in a “Sleeper Deluxe” car that offers three deluxe staterooms, or the Business Car, a 1914 Pullman Company car that was originally built for the Santa Fe Railroad.

The cars are beautiful examples of a throwback lifestyle that has all but disappeared. They will take you to another era but they include comfortable beds and private bathrooms that have toilets and tiled showers.
