Lessons learned on my "maiden voyage"; SM/ES

[Long Train Runnin']

Not to split hairs to finely, but if I'm not mistaken Coke is also for sale on the Piedmont trains run by NC.

That would be splitting sodas, not hairs! :giggle:

As far as Bridge Plates go. As stated these are used primarily for Persons in Wheel Chairs. Also since most NEC stations have High level platforms if every door had a Bridge Plate it would delay the train in several ways. Opening the doors and placing a BP at each door would take some time, then detraining, and entraining, then pick up the BP's and key the doors shut. Could take 15 minutes.

IMO a Red Cap should assist passengers boarding Children. A good RC will do that, or SCA, CA, or Conductor. Just my 2 Cents on that.
