The choice of wagon Let's see..... haphazardly......perhaps it is in this one that we will not be involved in an accident!...... Charivari
Description:
A couple is trying to decide which car to get into, hoping that one of them will be accident free. Railway travel in the third class compartments was rather tedious, especially in winter. While these trains already had the luxury of a roof, there still were no windows or heating and were more likely to be involved in an accident.
