In "Training" again....

In what seems to be a theme for our trips to Disney World, this family is training it from Connellsville, PA on the capitol limited and transferring in our nations capitol to the silver meteor to Orlando. Almost 2 trips in 1 since we will have in total about 12 hours in DC to sightsee and eat. My question, does anyone know of any online forums about trains, or who can answer some questions I had about requesting a sleeper room after I board the train for a lessor price. (I tried to do this before but couldn't seem to find the conductor)

....this site: Amtrak Unlimited (www.AmtrakTrains.com) has a discussion forum and there were several Disney related topics.
