They use new Superliner equipment which has coaches, lounges, sleepers, etc. If you just want to go between L.A. and the bay, you don't really need a sleeper since in each direction you leave in the morning and arrive in the evening. I took the trip a few years ago and it was just great. Book early, the train sells out. Amtrak has 800 numbers where you can get info and reserve.
