Last I checked many commuter rail stations can't fit the maximum number of cars that can appear in a trainset. POP or no POP unless you want to build even the most lightly used station with a 10 car platform (or be forced to upgrade every station when you want to increase trainset size) passengers need to be able to move between cars.Again, the train will not be composed of more than two portions due to the cost associated with the labor to combine those segments. Because of that the train can be spotted on any platform more than 50 feet long such that one door of each halve is on the platform. I guess you also like getting trapped in hot cars, or crowded cars You're going to have at least three cars per segment, so you're always going have at minimum two alternatives to the car you're sitting in. Protecting passengers and crew members may come at the cost of your railfan window, but the remainder of the train will remain capable of being walked through. |
