The M8 is Coming for You!
The M8 is not a robot who means you harm, its a friendly train car that wants to vaccum suck your waste away before smells can help clear out the whole car.
Check out this great HD video tour courtesy of Station Stops of the long awaited M8 rail cars set to begin to see service on the Metro North line in 2009.

This is a long time coming. Circus animals travel in more style on the rails than commuters on the Metro North. The movie "The Ice Storm" was set in 1970's New Canaan and I remember watching a scene that was filmed on the Metro North and thinking how lame is it that they can film a 30 year old period piece on our train with no change other than the advertising placards.
And like Station Stops I'm also curious about the fate of the bar car (Tiki or otherwise)...

ROTFL!!!!
I see they haven't added footrests, which used to be standard on the older cars that preceded the current ones and then disappeared for no good reason. They make a big difference for those of us prone to back strain, or with shorter legs--no doubt these cars were designed by a man!
Ohhh...shiny...
