A Sad Day in Railroading

The last run of the commuter rail bar car.
Last call came Friday for the bar cars on commuter trains between Manhattan and Connecticut, a final run for rolling taverns where city workers gathered for decades to play dice, find jobs and hold annual Christmas parties with a jazz band.
The excuse is that the bar cars can't be coupled to the new MU cars that Metro-North is buying. While Metro-North says that they'll "look into" re-introducing bar cars on their new trains, we all know that horseshit. They're gone for good.

The Modern Puritans have scored another goal.

Yep, can't have the people actually 'drinking'... Might mean a lawsuit...

My suspicion is that certain people of power thought that perhaps people were having fun on those bar cars. Horrors!

Puritans. Sigh.
