[:(] Some railroads opt for a sink in the bathroom, some don't. The sink will usually fold down for use then fold back up when not in use. <br /> <br />I don't know if the website CSXSucks.com is still around or not. That website did have some photos of the toliets in locomotives. <br /> <br />As I have said, these toliets are nothing to write home about or be proud of, they serve the basic need. There are basically 3 kinds in use today. One is a chemical toliet, another is a vacuum toliet (very loud too), and last we have a microphor (spelling not correct) toliet. <br /> <br />Many crews go out of their way to avoid using them. One guy remarked to me one day that he had been employeed by the railroad for over 20 some years and had never used one yet. [;)] <br /> <br />
