   Split-level riding has been the default style of the CalTrain commuter   
   line (San Francisco to San Jose/Silicon Valley) for many decades,   
   going back to its roots as the Southern Pacific Peninsula Branch.   
   Trains are full - no standees.  I used that line daily for several   
   years when I could not drive because of eye problems.   
      
   AMTRAK Superliner cars and the equivalent cars used on other commuter   
   railroads have bi-level seating, but I avoid the lower level on   
   Superliners because of limited overhead room - and I'm not much over 5   
   feet in height!
