Seems to me that I've read that the open sections were "popular" (yeah, I'd
rather ride in an Open Section than a Roomette!!) because the US Government
would only voucher for an Upper Berth, no upgrades to a Lower or any better
accommodation. Until the Airlines were allowed for normal military and
government travel, this helped keep the Open Section and figured into the
development of the Slumbercoach as well as "thrifty" vacationers and
business travelers.
