Pertinent Information

The Sleeping Car Attendant holds the pass key that opens all doors, including washroom doors.
Passengers may lock both washroom doors from inside. From their compartment, they may lock the washroom door on their side, also. However, to lock your actual compartment door, you will need to signal the sleeping car attendant. You will also need to signal him to unlock it. You will not get a key (unless you steal / craft one). If you don't say that you told him to lock it, I will assume your character will have left their room unlocked. You could, of course, always just tell the sleeping car attendant to always lock your doors when you leave - in which case, it will always be locked when you are not in it and you will always need to get him to open it.
The covered connection is less soundproofed than the carriages. It is therefore noisier in there. -10 to all Listen rolls made to hear what is said inside it or, when a person is already inside it, in the other rooms.
When entering another Car, either post that you are, and wait for me, or check for the last relevant time stamp, make allowances in time due to the number of posts since and see if it's about the same as yours. If it is within about five minutes, you may enter of your own will.
Sleeping Car attendants won't allow funny stuff - listening in through compartment doors, waking other passengers. However, if they are engaged in conversation, or there is someone between you and them, due to the somewhat cramped confines of the corridor, they probably won't see you.
