Posted by Steve B-8AVEXP on Tue Oct 26 18:38:52 2021, in response to Re: Triva question - Brooklyn service, posted by Andrew Saucci on Mon Oct 25 20:38:09 2021. Back when I rode to and from NYC from New Haven on Conrail, New Haven-bound trains were ten cars long and only a few stations could berth all ten cars. Conductors would announce, "People in the first two cars and last two cars will have to move if they want to get off at such-and-such station." At Bridgeport, they would say, "All the doors will open at Bridgeport." Even New Haven's platforms could not berth a ten-car train. On Saturdays, it was different. Trains were still ten cars, but the first two cars were isolated - they ran empty. People still had to move if they were in, say the last two cars. |
