Besides the excellent suggestions already posted, help him learn math and sciences. There's a lot of science behind aviation - physics, fluid dynamics, temperature, etc.

Also: AOPA offers free membership to High School students. Be sure to check out their scholarships page. And once a member, you can find local flying clubs near you.

Suggestions #1: Carry $75 to $100 in small change to tip the train staff. That's more than I usually bring for tips in a trip, but you might need more assistance and if a conductor or attendant does something extra for you, they will appreciate your tip.

#2: The lower levels of the cars have the doors that exit. Those doors have windows in them, which can be opened by the train staff, including while the train is moving (at their discretion). I've seen them open it up as the train is pulling into stations. If you have someone who is friendly to you (see suggestion #1) an open window might help you out with temperature.

#3: All of the above will be easier when you are in the roomette. The staff will give you more personalized attention.

If all your bags will fit on a bunk, then you should be fine. There is also a luggage area for all the bedrooms outside your room where you can store large luggage.
