   The fold down bench seating in the upper level is only suitable for children   
   to sit in. At least BNSF managed to avoid this in most of their cars, except   
   for the newer cars obtained from Metra.   
      
   Lately BNSF has also been running a bunch of Metra hand-me-downs from UP and   
   Rock Island or Mil. Road. All have the kiddy fold down seating which also   
   causes the small "aisle" to be blocked by seated pax's feet.
