The trains back then were far more crowded than today, and the vestibule changed the entire interior configuration. During extreme crowding, whereby platform conductors had to literally push people into the car and "help" close the doors with their hands, rider's hands also made their way onto other passengers. And the vestibule was "the" place. |
