a mid-sized sedan that has only 10% of it's original parts remaining and over 10 years. It's large enough for 5, but can easily accomodate 7. 8 if you include the trunk
8 of us can't fit in the neon, we'll need 2 rides. No problem get the "cobra cab"
A girl who goes with a culchie in his tractor and does some saucy things with him in the cab. Or it can just be when she sits with him in the tractor while he works.
“Ava spent her Saturday in Rory’s tractor, she’s such a cab slag.”
Ordering a bottle or several glasses of Cabernet, generally at a restaurant of repute, and slamming the wine like a Jaegarbomb.
Damn man, that look on that waiters face after the third round of fast cabs was priceless!
The ex-metroliner cab car is a NPCU (non-powered control unit) cab car made from the Budd Metroliner Electric multiple unit, when Amtrak inherited the metroliners from penn central when it started in May 1st 1971, during their run they were proven to be mechanically very unreliable, Since The trainsets were, except for the propulsion systems, a near-identical match to the Amfleet coaches were converted (29 of them) into NPCU cab cars. While the rest either converted into geometry cars, work trains, DOT Trains or scrapped. The fleet numbers for them are 9630–9652, 9709, 9822, 9825–9828. And primary used on the keystone, valley flyer and Hartford lines. They along with the amfleet coaches will be replaced by Siemens venture/airo trainsets in the early 2030s
One day on the Amtrak Keystone train to New York, I realized this would be one of the last times I’d experience the Metroliner cab car before the Siemens Venture trainsets took over. A group of girls boarded a few rows behind me, their laughter cutting through the train’s hum. One girl stood out: a VSCO girl with an oversized scrunchie, high-waisted shorts, and of course, her bright Pink hydroflask
As she fumbled with her drink, the sounds of “sksksks” filled the air, followed by an exaggerated “and I oop!” I glanced back, and saw her filming a TikTok while her friends dropped their flasks. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any more chaotic, she caught my eye and shot me a bright smile. “Do you want to be in it?” she called, her voice bursting with energy.
“Sure, why not?” I replied, feeling my annoyance fade. Maybe this was the future of train travel: a mix of the old and the new, blending memories with modern trends.
As I joined their TikTok, we struck silly poses, and I found myself laughing at the absurdity of it all. For a moment, we were just kids having fun on a train, capturing a fleeting memory. Despite their vibrant energy being so different from my past train rides, I realized that change could be okay. I might miss the Metroliner cab car, but this unexpected adventure would stick with me long after the trains had changed.
When a friend offers you a list and you jump in the back seat leaving the passenger seat vacant. Hence making it look like a taxi. Comments like.... can you put the AC on? and have you been working long? are actively encouraged.
Matt and I got a lift to the airport from Ryan the other day and we absolutely mini-cabbed him!
