The last commuter train in the US with a built-in bar has just departed, one last time before its being taken out of service, possibly forever. While plenty of other public transit options around the country — including long-haul trains and ferries — continue to offer bars, the four used on the Metro-North Railroad trains going between Manhattan and Connecticut are some of the oldest and now the last, says The New York Times. The retirement of the cars, which just happened with a 7:07 PM departure, has less to do with people gluing their eyes to smartphones and tablets, and instead to fact that these hulking pieces of history arent compatible with a newer fleet of train cars. Even though these particular train cars are being retired, hope is not lost for a return of newer bar car models.
