In Canada, all regularly scheduled sleeping car services are operated by [[Via Rail]], using a mixture of relatively new cars and refurbished mid-century ones; the latter cars include both private rooms and "open section" accommodations.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://corpo.viarail.ca/en/projects-infrastructure/train-fleet | title=Train fleet - Rolling stock &#124; VIA Rail}}</ref>

In the United States, all regularly scheduled sleeping car services are operated by [[Amtrak]]. Amtrak offers sleeping cars on most of its overnight trains, using modern cars of the private-room type exclusively.

Today, Amtrak operates two main types of sleeping car: the bi-level [[Superliner (railcar)|Superliner]] sleeping cars, built from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s, and the single-level [[Viewliner]] sleeping cars, built in the mid-1990s. Superliners are used on most long-distance routes from [[Chicago]] westward, while Viewliners are used on most routes east of Chicago due to [[Structure gauge|tunnel clearance]] issues in and around [[New York City]] and [[Baltimore]].

In the most common Superliner sleeping car configuration, the upper level is divided into two halves, one half containing "Bedrooms" (formerly "Deluxe Bedrooms") for one, two, or three travelers, each Bedroom containing an enclosed toilet-and-shower facility; and the other half containing "[[Roomette]]s" (formerly "Economy Bedrooms" or "Standard Bedrooms") for one or two travelers; plus a beverage area and a toilet. The lower level contains more Roomettes; a Family Bedroom for as many as two adults and two children; and an "Accessible Bedroom" (formerly "Special Bedroom") for a wheelchair-using traveler and a companion; plus toilets and a shower.

The Viewliner cars contain an Accessible Bedroom (formerly "Special Bedroom") for a wheelchair-using traveler and a companion, with an enclosed toilet-and-shower facility; two Bedrooms (formerly "Deluxe Bedrooms") for one, two, or three travelers, each Bedroom containing an enclosed toilet-and-shower facility; "Roomettes" (formerly "Economy Bedrooms", "Standard Bedrooms", or "Compartments") for one or two travelers, each Roomette containing its own unenclosed toilet and washing facilities; and a shower room at the end of the car.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Guide |first=Travel |date=2022-01-22 |title=Viewliner trains: Layout, routes and other things to know |url=https://amtrakguide.com/2022/01/22/viewliner-trains-layout-routes/ |access-date=2024-11-01 |website=Amtrak Guide |language=en}}</ref>
