@anianimalsmoe Yes, you are right! It is unusual, but that makes the train so special and you need to know, that there are different types of cars, like a dinning car, a lounge car, two observation cars (end cars) and how you said, sleeper cars and everything makes sense at the end, so from the design and the functional perspective. At the end the train is a rolling art and presence the four seasons of Honshu.
