Nick, the rider gons are where you go for the view! The converted P-Box is mostly for inclement weather when it's no fun riding in the open. The other function of the P-box is to speed up the disembarking and boarding process, since the gons do not have steps. Unloading 70 people through just the caboose steps would be a long and slow process. Another P-box would make the process even faster.

I really have to hand it to the Friends. This turned out way better (and faster) then expected. Good job!
