- Aboard Amtrak train number 92, the northbound Silver Meteor, Sunday, May 6, 2007 between Fort Lauderdale and Jacksonville, Florida:Sitting in Viewliner roomette number seven, you realize you’re in a sleeping car that is only 12 years old, but looks much older. For those of us too young to have been alive at the end of World War II, you imagine the condition of this sleeping car must have been what it was like in a Pullman Company sleeper in 1945, when every piece of rattle-trap rolling stock was pressed into service to meet the demands of wartime traffic.
