Supposedly notthing new, but I dont play much of this route, last try brought me this discovery ;D A lot of fresh air in the 1st. car.
Indeed! The best part is that it is like this in real life as well! Apparently one of DTG's source images was taken in winter, so the floor was covered in snow due to the open door.
I was shocked too, but alas, I watched a video of some MBTA trains, and there is indeed a large opening between the first car and the locomotive! This was the best view I could get of it in the vid I watched.
