Close your curtains and be discreet, otherwise they can remove you from the train.

Was on the CSL from LAX - 4 people had 2 coolers, 30 -16oz beers, 2 fifths of wine and at least a fifth of hard liquor. They were in the observation car. Managed to consume all their stash before departing in SBA.

They lucked out - train crew just ignored them!!

You may bring aboard your own private stock of alcoholic beverages subject to the following limitations:

You may consume private stock alcoholic beverages only in Sleeping Car accommodations for which you have a valid ticket.
