The windows on the older Double Deck cars opened only a tiny bit- not quite enough to drop a beer bottle through, but just enough to allow air exchange. I have no idea why DB can't do the same with these... Hello Forrest…

Nice trip overall. Stale musty air in the cars. Cars were in serious need of being parked for a day or more with all the windows open! Knowing full well that was not possible, but hoping to make a point, I called Amtrak customer service and played ignorant hick suggesting that. Now, open windows at 79mph would be a bit of a danger. There does need to be much greater fresh air exchange, though. Some time in late 1990s I traveled from Texas to Missouri on Amtrak in cars with no opening windows except as emergency exits.
