Priority Boarding - Fast, but Uncomfortable

Very good, funny !

Heh heh heh, that is funny!  Pretty clever too.  Take your wife out to dinner...

Thanks, the first video makes me laugh every time I watch it.

I'm not sure how to get the people back off the train, but I have time to figure that out - they will be comatose for a while.

Don't let Delta see this - or maybe you should....

If there was ever an operating accessory that I would buy.....beats dumb wandering cattle and horses all around.

Since you mentioned horses and cows - I briefly thought about a "passenger corral".  That would be one way to get people on and off the train.

You should patent this idea before Amtrak copies it.

Jet Blue ought to try this - maybe their on-time percentage would increase.

Amtrak Auto-train has priority loading and unloading for your car. Would be an interesting attachment to an auto-rack. I've seen the way the drivers move the cars- you are not too far off from the speed they move at.

Very ingenious. The first video was the best.

@Mrfixit....

Thanks for the belly laugh! I really needed that today.

I too am surprised how well your hyper-passenger loader worked. Very impressive.

The horse/cattle corral and car would definitely take some tinkering; especially for having passengers file into a passenger car and back out again. Just thinking for 2 seconds about it; the vibrating mechanism would need to be transplanted from the cattle car to a passenger car; possibly doable. Then there's the issue of car doors opening and closing. That might take a bit more ingenuity.

Thanks for sharing and for the laugh!

This made me laugh.  Thank you for sharing!  I would stick to loading baggage that way.  Passengers' medical bills make for big lawsuits!! :-D

I hate to see the express unloading.

You all are giving me great ideas.

"Passenger unloading goes awry, full story at 7!"

Funny video! On a serious side, have you thought about maybe modifying an AF operating passenger station for loading/unloading passengers in a tinplate car. Would be a challenge, but you would have a one-of-a-kind accessory.

You seem to be doing just fine with your own ideas.

That platform crowd looks like the Long Island RR waiting area at Penn station.
