On 66/67, stops are fairly frequent and the relative passenger turnover is high at some of these stops. You don’t have the luxury of 45-60 minutes in between stops to find the small number of passengers that were probably directed to a specific car to make it easier for the conductors/car attendants to walk up to them personally and let them know their stop is coming up. You leave Wilmington and 15 minutes later you’re in Philadelphia, 20 minutes later you’re in Trenton, 12 minutes after that…etc. And you’ll probably have a hundred people getting off at those stops. Then half the train turns over in New York.It definitely sucks if you’re trying to get sleep, and there ought to be a way to shut off the PA in the sleeper, but I completely understand why these trains otherwise would not have quiet hours. It’s completely different from finding the three passengers bound for Holdrege, NE in the 11 car with 45 minutes to go before their stop.
