Coaches

Coaches are a type of rolling stock used to carry passengers.

Types of coaches
A standard coach has little amenities. Two types are used on the D&N: open types have a central walkway and a seat layout similar to an airplane; closed types (also called compartment types) have separate rooms and a walkway on one side of the coach. Dining coaches are like a restaurant on wheels. Passengers are seated at a table and order a meal, which is cooked in another section of the coach. Lounge cars feature a bar, as well as benches or swiveling seats and large windows. They often have small tables for drinks, laptops, art setups or games of cards. Observation cars are always at the back of a passenger train. Their interior can feature elements of a coach or lounge car. At the end is an open area where passengers may stand and view the scenery. Sleeping coaches feature rooms for people to sleep in on overnight trains. Baggage cars are used to carry luggage on long trains. Combines are a combination of a coach and a baggage car. The D&N uses these on local trains. Dome cars are a type of lounge car with an upper level with a glass dome.
