It has pinched-in sides as floor level, which serve the purpose ofi) insuring the customers don't get too comfortable. Gotta remind the proles that we don't really matter that much ii) creating a clever little trap for out-of-towners and bar patrons who've decided to leave the car at home so as to not drink and drive. It's also great for culling the disabled. Little did they know a pineapple-faced bureaucrap has set a trap for them! |

I wouldn't mind if they were both independent railroads with no organizational unification, but since they're both MTA railroads, number clashes are frowned upon. |

Whose trains shall never meet, so who is "frowning" upon it ?On the other hand, NJT, Amtrak, and LIRR can meet. So can Amtrak and MN. Shall every railroad be required to have 5 digit numbers assigned by FRA to avoid such numbering conflicts ? |

LIRR 9001 is a different machine from MNCR 9001.Long Island 9001 is the full nomenclature of the above equipment, Metro North 9001 is a different machine. Amtrak 9001 is a third machine. BNSF 9001 might be on the same consist with NS 9001. Where is the problem. ROAR |
