This area allows us to take Overheard on the Barcar to another level. Here you will find the inner musings of those individuals for whom the barcar experience has been a catalyst for romance or corporate intrigue. If you are working on chapter one of the great novel, at the mid point of your biography, racked by guilt over a barcar tryst or enraptured while in the midst of one, here is the place to spill it out. Who knows, you might even get some constructive criticism or good advice.

OK, maybe you aren't ready to spill your guts on the WWW, no problem, there is always intrigue on the barcar - It's happened to all of us at one time or another. You've purchased your cocktail and found a place to stand or sit and as you crack open your book or unfold your paper you become aware of a conversation happening near by. Maybe it's the tone of voice or a name you recognize that hooks you because even though its rude and you have better things to do, you can't help it, you are eavesdropping. Well here is where you can come clean and tell the world what it was never meant to hear. Assuage the guilt, confession is good for the soul and can be a hell of a lot of fun for others to read.

im thinking you guys should have weed to send to people- not just alcohol... :)

is this the Bill Schnirring I know. If it is "gimme a hemlock". A friend
sent me a copy of the piece in thr Times. I had heard a rumor
that they wanted to illiminate the bar cars. Thinking back they tryed to
privatize the service in the late Seventies. I manage to get
a letter to Governor Ella Grasso , she said they only wanted to improve
the service and were just exploring different ways.
I still have her letter.
They originilay buiilt 20 cars which was to many and the bar was built for
two people which was never the case. 10 of the cars were unofficially New Yorks and 10 belong to Connecticut . Remember around 1983 they removed the New York cars and attemptrd to remove the Connecticut cars. We fought that and had television crews on the car one night. With the help of some state reps we were sucessful..
One point to consider, thie service began on the old New Haven RR in March
of 1953. In March of 2003 the bar cars will be 50 years in service. Maybe a
celebation is in order.
Any way if I can be of help let me know.

Traceless Dickey...or was that Dickless Tracy...?
You were the second-best bartender I ever knew on the train...right behind "there is no waiting."
I still talk about you, and I have your baby picture in my wallet...see attachment(sorry- we can't show you that). I am delighted to know that you are still looking at the green side of the grass, and you don't seem to be incarcerated. I hope they're spooning your pablum to you carefully in the Ancient Bartenders' Hideaway, and that you're as happy as you once made all of us. You were not only great, you had balls!
I still call Tommy Stupid (C.) from time to time and tell him that it's his worse nightmare on the phone. He always knows it's me. I understand that Cilley and Mary-Ellen get together on the weekends to ride the see-saw together...no other two people could balance either one of them.
There are still a few good bartenders left...none of your stature, even though they're all taller...Tommie Mac, Leo, Vinnie, Alice...but they all have their genitalia chained to these little carts and can't get on the train.
I call and email Harry H., and the current Vice-Chairman of the Commuter Council as well...he's been a dry drunk for about 13 years, and I told him he ought to recuse himself from any discussions on bar cars.
Thanks for the info, Traceless...I'll pass it on to Tom of Barcar.com. There is no "maybe" that a celebration is in order in March...I'll make it happen. I remember when you told me that they were going to eliminate the bar cars, and there was nothing anyone could do about it. I told you, "watch me!" and enlisted Suzy S-Breath to help me get the petitions signed. We got Chris Neidermeier (she's had her share of problems recently) on board, and got Gov. O'Neil to step in.
I nominate you to be the Chairman of the 50th anniversary party. All you have to do is get whoever makes up the trains to put three bar cars in a row...make Cilley unchain the genitalia of the line's best bartenders...I'll get some friends to help with the publicity. We made the papers an TV before...we can do it again.
The train should stop in every station in CT up to New Haven...and you'll be required to wear your Leprechaun suit.
Great to hear from you, Dick...let's get together...I'll buy you a hemlock.
