Or
going home on the late nite dinky and walk thru the smoker full of that
wacky tobacco you would float between cars. Often good peek shows as
well.

As Paul Harvey used to say "the rest of the story" as smelly and eye
watering as working the smokers on a dinky could be; there was the other
side..... There was nothing like walking into a full coach,eastbound in
the morning and getting a full waft of a couple dozen or more perfumes. It
was better than a cosmetic counter at a store. Fully more fragrant than
any florists. And then there was eye appeal of the seat occupants wearing
the perfumes !
No need to go to a bar to meet
the opposite sex. Pretty young female support staff, in the age before
computers, and young,or even middle aged males dressed in tailored dark
blue uniforms with all the attributes of authority. Well let's just say
many a trainman met his wife on a dinky.
