A recent photo taken on an early evening train. This crowd is obviously in the forbidden vestibule and three-abreast into the passenger compartments of the two carriages.This is a typical load for the 3 trains out of Union Station between 5 and 7 pm. There are no places to hold onto. Taller folks tend to hold on to the fluorescent light covers that run the length of each carriage.
The man in the blue shirt is actually standing between the two carriages. Now I am sure the conductor on this train cleared these folks out of the vestibule before the man in the blue shirt was cut in half as the train switched tracks three times on its way out of the yard.
These people are not standing in the vestibule for the sheer fun of it. They are standing there because there is no room in the carriages to stand. This is what I call Dangerous Overcrowding.
Got pics? Send them to (netherman79@gmail.com) me so I can plaster them all over the web!

We're just missing the farm animals!
And this is just ONE train's worth of passengers. You should see it when one of the earlier trains is late or cancelled!!
