Picture is Unrelated, Thread Goes Nowhere

I see at least five empty seats.

and yet missed the empty baggage rack.

Sure, she can sit up there too.

that picture looks like a set up for a LIRR ad to keep your bags off of the seats. No one sits three across when there are empty seats like that all around.

amtrack has rows of two on each side as does the metro north, the last time i road the LIRR i thought it was 2 and 2 but you'd know better on this one.

Nah, I just think it's a dumb picture and an even dumber commentary to try an make in a half-empty car.

Yep, that's exactly what the LIRR trains look like these days. They still have the older ones that you're thinking of that they'll use on weekends more often that have the blue and red seats. I thought maybe when they upgraded the LIRR trains they did the MetroNorth too. There's just something about the piled high luggage with the bag on top (which will go flying the second the train moves), the three people across directly behind, the ethnic diversity... it's totally the format for the LIRR versions of "One to Grow On".

ETA: So close!!! http://www.mta.info/lirr/about/Courtesy ... tFlyer.pdf

Sorry Laura, I shall cease conversation in the picture thread now.

I've definitely ridden on some trains on the Hudson line that look exactly like this. No double-deckers yet though :-)

Legend has it that "Arnold" wanted the part of "Reese" in the original Terminator movie, but was convinced otherwise.

And, so began the irony of stardom.

Guess which part "Barbarino" auditioned for before taking Vincent Vega?
