Re: Icky's rules for commuter train travel

If you can, sit by an emergency window. Understand how to use it. Pull the red handles down, pull the window gasket off, push the window out. I have had to do thus during my commute at least once with no instruction for the commuter RR people.
If something bad happens, don't be scared to bail. Don't wait for RR people to instruct you. They are more apt to give instructions like the Port Authority gave people in the TT 9/11 --"Every thing is fine, nothing to worry about." The people who bail quickly are usually the survivors in any such situation.
Never go anywhere near the 3d rail.
My heart goes out to the victims.
