zippy the pinhead

There were signs on the inner doors of the car, which plainly stated that it was a first class car and that tickets were required. The northbound train had the engine in the back, connected to the business car, connected to the first class car. The interior was different than the business car interior; it was darker, the seats were wider, and they were different in that they had kind of a semi lazy-boy recliner leg rest that comes up.

I should have asked the conductor.

Update

Talked with an Amtrak employee regarding the first class car. Apparently it is a business class car which is put into the train in anticipation of demand, regardless of what the signage says.
