Metra trains are weird.
On NJTrans, the second level is, well, a complete level. With a floor. Here, it's more of a catwalk. And when the conductor comes through to check your ticket, they do it from the lower level, meaning that if you're upstairs, you have to kind of squat down and pass the ticket through the opening in the middle to a person below you.
(And no, I didn't take those photos with some dumb-*** "nostaligia" filter. The windows are tinted green, so that's my 30-second attempt at re-balancing the colors to look semi-normal.)

You place your ticket in the clip before you sit down and then the conductor can just do a visual check after he has punched your ticket.
This saves time when the train is full.
The only issue is, you have to remember your ticket when you go to leave, if you purchased a weekend pass or similar.

Edge of Tomorrow!!!
If you look closely at the rail on the floor of the 2nd level, you will see metal clips near each seat where you are supposed to leave your ticket.

Typically when traveling into the city for recreational purposes we would bring "train beers" just because we could.

On Metro North, they do prohibit liquor on certain occasions, such as on St Patrick's day and New Years, when it's assumed that everyone is already going to be intoxicated prior to boarding.
I know at least one of the cars on each train is the quiet car where even speaking softly is prohibited.
Thus, the "quiet car" on Poughkeepsie trains is located right next to a turbocharged 175 liter V-16 engine putting out 4,000 HP.
It's not quiet.

This isn't funny to me. It's pretty unfunny.
1. That guy didn't appear to be acting in a threatening manner or endangering anyone but his own *****
2. "black people" who are doing nothing other than sitting or standing but otherwise doing nothing different than you on a vape break are getting shot because they hesitate for a moment thinking they have civil rights enumerated in the constitutional amendments not to be harassed by the government or its blue shirts.
3. nobody pulled a gun in that video?
