In spite of the headlines, this is very much what it was like the first time I climbed on an Amtrak heading to NYC in the 80’s. Chrome wall features, burgundy vinyl seats, and every seat had a passenger either reading NY Times or Wall Street Journal ... depending on whether they got off at Newark and took the PATH train, or went all the way in to Penn Station. Daunting, at the time. I never did pick up the paper habit. Preferred books and the early Walkmans.

I saw a lot of people with bills and checkbooks but I generally had the Times and the Star Ledger sports section for mornings, books and magazines for the ride home.
