Just curious--does anyone have an opinion as to the superiority of the gallery   
   type commuter coach (as used by Chicago railroads) vs. the multi-level coach   
   as used by NJ Transit, LIRR, etc.?   
      
   That is, which are preferred by passengers, which have faster lo   
   ding/unloading, which are preferred by crews, ride quality, ease of   
   maintenance, etc.?   
      
   (In my own opinion, I prefer single level cars like NJT's Arrow MUs.  I've   
   never ridden a gallery car, but I feel the multi-levels, while popular with   
   many, have some disadvantages).
