How can I make my long train ride comfortable?

Pack pillows, blankets, and slippers that don't take up too much space. I always bring my Tumi puffer jacket on long train rides since it converts into a neck pillow. It's perfect as a pillow for a daytime nap and as a blanket at bedtime. I also bring an inflatable pillow and mini blanket.
