Where do you put luggage on Amtrak roomette?

An Amtrak tip that I mentioned earlier, if you're traveling solo in a roomette, you can bring your carry-on luggage in the sleeping room with you. With the top bunk empty, you can stow your smaller bags and carry-ons “upstairs” on the upper bunk or the hard-to-reach shelf.
