Hello everyone, I am curious as to what your worst commuting experience (rapid transit or commuter rail) has been. I know that I definitely have some but they are probably not bad compared to someone else's (I don't venture onto trains when I know that it is not going to be an easy commute). Thanks,...

Amazing what can be done with compatible equipment. Sadly the more recent equipment has pretty much ended that. The R-40s were a good choice for the end of the train. They are distinctive!
