Nice. Odd that the luggage racks *look* as if they're uneven, or flex according to weight. And are all the seats in one orientation - and does that mean flipping or reversing the car at its destination?

(For comparison, in the UK, the trend is to remove 4-seater tables and replace the car with "airline" seating, half forward per car; half backward per car; the latter of which nobody seems to mind).

The M-2's - the 1973 vintage cars beiing replaced - all have fixed seating.

Here is New York Times coverage including additional photos:
