When I took the Silver Palm last year from NYC to Tampa, I rode in a sleeper that was at the *front* of the train. This year I'm taking the Silver Star to Ft. Lauderdale, booked sleeper space again, and want to know if any one knows whether the sleepers on the Silver Star are on the front or the back?

(If you ask me Sleepers should ALWAYS be at the back of the train, as they were when I rode in a sleeper on the Coast Starlight.)

Thanks

All Silver Service sleepers are in the front of the trains.

Thank you.

Anyone know the reason, *why*?
