Last I checked many commuter rail stations can't fit the maximum number of cars that can appear in a trainset

There's no limit to the number of cars on a train. You could have a 40-car passenger train if you really wanted to.

As for short platforms, I've experienced having to walk forward or backward on a train to get the platform to exit; the only hassle is to the railroad due to the extended dwell time.

Please stop trying to change commuter rail into rapid transit, it just gets costlier and less convenient

That's what your leftist überphoam keeps trying to do, especially without understanding the functionality (or lack) thereof. How do you think the LIRR got to be the way it is nowadays? It's the MTA's subway vision writ large on a FRA railroad. This is also why Philly's Bridge Line absorbed part of the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines as far as Lindenwold.
