We have so few trains in the US that even after living here my whole
life, I have yet to get on a US train. I have ridden probably close to
50,000 miles on European trains. sorry for the myopic view of the
"train crap" situation (or train pee....)

Ever seen an old square rigger with the holes over the side.... Direct

directly onto the tracks (Or as Jeff foxworthy would say... "you're a
Peein'" )


What's this European trains crap? Until the US railroads brought in the
Metroliner and later, they also dumped straight to the tracks. I can still
recall looking down the bowl and seeing the tis pass rapiudly beneath. No one
reclalls "Do not use the toilet while the train is in the station?" For all I
know, old cars, meaning sleepers etc., still dump to the tracks.
