back in 1970, I was on a short layoff from my job at National Can in San Leandro, Ca., Took the train out of Oakland to Columbus Ne. Rode in coach with accessible vestibules both ways. Norden had a huge snowshed to stop in back then, Ogden by morning, up the Wasatch and Wyoming during day. Slept well, upright in those big chairs. Returned on a morning trip out of Reno and Truckee and above Donner Lake. Stood in the open vestibule all the way up to Norden. Even got to smoke a "cigarette".
