They agent gave no indication that she was even aware of bike racks in cafe cars, stating simply that, since there was no longer a baggage car, bicycles were not allowed ...

I was thinking the same thing and then got a brainstorm. Imagine a fleet of self-driving RVs! You put your family onboard and eat and sleep and do whatever you want as your moving hotel drives you to the next tourist attraction. And maybe also little one-person RVs that get you to your business mee...

Still seems ridiculous to me. Doesn't look like a very comfortable environment to enjoy your meal or drink. And also why didn't they remove the seats at the end of the car instead of towards the center? When you lose money on food service and can’t feasibly make it up through volume, removing cafe/...

Question about this situation. What does or did the engineer do this whole time? I know his cab is kind of roomy but did he actually spend the entire time there? I assume he can't leave or was he able to leave the engine unattended? This topic came up in discussion and nobody quite knew. Conditions...
