I noticed that "New rider" had to stand on a N.E. corrider train recently. I have seen that also, in the N.E. TP 49 and other mention it also.
Also in a recent post I mentioned having to stand in the vestibule for 2.5 hours on a cold night before Thanksgiving in college days ('62 or '63) Forgot to mention that people were even in the baggage car....perhaps my only time to actually walk into a baggage car.(the airlines were on strike which complicated it severely) That particular train had eight more hours to go to complete its journey after I got off---hope some of those people got seats before the night was gone.
What about anybody else?
Any really long periods of standing on a long distance train?
