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.
