[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by futuremodal</i> <br />For passenger services, think of the advantages of sleeping compartments with some actual elbow room. A dining car where the waiters don't have to constantly brush up against you in the aisle. A lounge car where one can actually fit a grand piano. A theatre car with an actual wide projection screen. Handicapped access would be vastly improved. People who currently don't give passenger rail a second thought would flock to the stations to experiene such a travel ideal. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />That's a phenomenal idea. And you're right. We've built trains 2 stories high, and now widen them out a bit. We saw this on the TV show "Super Train" in the '70s. There was some interest on the part of the public. Should the "double wide" passenger train come to pass the possibilities would be spectacular. <br /> <br />Mitch
