Amtrak’s new train cars are based on the same basic design as ÖBB’s (Austria’s) new Nightjet trains, which are the world standard for modern sleeping cars and cross Europe every night.
That product (and model) could be a winner on many corridors in the US.

Tip for visitors to Brazil - it is rude to "slam" the door of someone's car (shut it with any force whatsoever). You must make a show of closing it as softly as possible. It is not rational - and this is precisely what makes it an act of politeness. It is like bowing; just do it
