The train system in east asian countries are fairly advanced, so it's less like a traditional steam train and more of a hyper-speed magnetic-something-powered bullet train.
I remember the more modern trains being quite spacious and nice. *__*
When I was much younger and the trains were slower, we'd take overnight train trips too. I think there were these three-tier bunks! Tiny me loved it, but thinking back my parents likely suffered from stiff backs /D;;;
D'awww, I find that last part cute. You enjoying the beds while your parents suffered stiff backs. I wouldn't be surprised the east trains would be better in the east than here, but still, I'd wanna ride on steam trains. Maybe I could pretend to read the paper!

They are not proper bed-like bunks, they are just something that resembles a bed attached to a wall. They are not particulary comfortable.
And the whole "room" is quite small, you can't climb up and down easily.
I suppose they might have improved over the years, or that you can get fancier (and more expensive) ones, but as I remember them it was a cool adventure and not a great-sleep-quality situation.
The video I watched about the train in Australia, the more pricier rooms are better if you can afford them. I've never been on a long train ride, but I want to.
