Is there power outlets in the “coach” class of Amtrak?
It depends on the seat configuration and the type of car used (and if I am not mistaken, there is sometimes car migration from one route to another, though I also understand Amtrak tries to minimize this as it irritates mechanics). I’ve sat in “coach” class of Amtrak (I think it’s called Reserved, but not Business Class) and usually these days there are outlets, yes, usually 1 per 2 seats, though sometimes 2, depending on the kind of power outlets they installed. On one frustrating trip, the seat I was sitting in actually obscured its power outlet, but a conductor was helpful enough to reconfigure my seat so it spun a little away from the outlet so I could use it (though I then worried about accident involving shearing my plug apart or something with the seat). The cafe cars almost always have outlets, so you could potentially sit in there and plug in and also have a table. Also, Business Class almost always has outlets too.
