Yes; reversible seats will be missed.Only by the passengers, maybe...the fixed seats are the only good feature of the multilevels, in the eyes of the trainmen...no having to deal with the inconsiderate assholes who feel the need to take up 6 seats when traveling alone... And operating wise, there are currently restrictions at many locations around the ralroad where multi levels are prohibited from operating, due to the weight of the cars. Garwood siding on the RVL and Far Hills siding on the Gladstone Branch are two locations that immediately come to mind... They can get away with it on the RVL (that siding is very rarely used), but not on the Gladstone branch. The Far Hills siding is used every day... Wouldn't these "power cars" be even heavier than the trailers, due to the extra equipment needed for the power? |
