We had them at Fort Dix in the early 70s, also called cattle cars, but
they did not have seats, just poles to stand up and hold on to. Used
them to move back and forth to ranges and etc... (No seats because
usually you had your field gear on.)
Best,
Hank

I believe that was totally unsafe and unauthorized but possibly
necessary if
