   The lastest craze by the high paid GED grads is to keep 4 cars closed nearest   
   the gate at Chicago Union and force people to walk to open cars down the   
   platform just under the Old Post Office. A reminder to transit boards   
   nationwide: don't use BNSF tracks    
   or staff if you are planning any rail service, YOU WILL REGRET IT.
