As far as I know, "berths" no longer exist. They were coach type seats during the day, that got converted to upper and lower beds. A pull-across curtain gave you some privacy. For obvious reasons, the uppers were often empty, so if a regular coach passenger decided to upgrade for a few bucks, they usually could. I think this was prior to "roomettes".
Hey guys, I forgot all about sleeping in a caboose about 12 times over 20 years. Lot of fun with my kids, and then my grand kids. Wonderful memories, even though a few grumps on this forum love bashing the Red Caboose Motel in Strasburg every time the subject came up.
