Just because you choose one fare over another doesn’t mean you can’t upgrade. Passengers can upgrade from Coach Class to Business Class and First Class for a reasonable fee. In some cases, on trains with sleeping rooms, you might be allowed to upgrade to a roomette or bedroom, but it depends on availability. When on the train, you can ask the conductor if an upgrade is possible, and if space is open. It’s easy to upgrade on the Amtrak website or by simply calling their toll-free number.
