Little explanation as to what this thing is:
Once all the kinks are worked out, the conductor will use a remote sensor to enter your origin and destination. Then, on the screen where it says *EMPTY*, that info will appear. For example, if you were going from Washington to New York, it would say WAS->NYP. This will replace seat checks. Until it is working though, all it will say is *EMPTY*. The only time the webmaster saw it saying something else was on December 26, 2001, on board Trainset 6 (2030-2031) where they all said WAS->BOS.

Vestebule LEDs
This sign, located in the vestebule of the car, displays the train's origin, next stop, and destanation.
