The Rock Island proposed this idea back in '79. They called their idea "Crews Train." The railroads were finally able to rid themselves of cabooses. A source for injuries, and added maintenance costs. I can't see railroads investing millions for dorm cars. If one were to go bad order on a trip, then what? If a dorm showed up with the relief crew on board and there were no sheets, or the kitchen was bo, then what. How about the crew member that said he injured himself coming out of the shower just when the slack ran in. <br />We can name the first crew-sleeper, "Pandora's Box." <br />Mitch
