Talk:Railroad apartment

Do rooms connect to each other or a hallway?
"an apartment with a series of rooms connecting to each other in a line" - this seems to contradict the 2nd sentence, or at least the meaning is unclear. Nurg (talk) 07:48, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

What does this have to do with anything? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.99.163.26 (talk) 18:16, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Plan
The article discusses a hallway running the length of the building, but the plan image doesn't show any such hallway. Also, what's that vault for? Makes me wonder if this was the plan for a bank, not a house/apartment. 63.87.189.17 (talk) 16:48, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

(some only 20 feet wide)
I wonder where the author lives that 20 feet is considered narrow? My house isn't 20 feet wide! From what I can tell, many, many New York apartments are less than 20 feet wide. The apartments illustrated by the floor plan appears to be 10 feet wide or less. Pburka (talk) 13:46, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

apartment hallways?
dunno about san francisco, but in nyc the lack of an interior hallway is the defining characteristic of a railroad apartment. the the rooms are connected end to end like the cars of a train, not like compartments in one car of a train. the lack of privacy tends to make them relatively (but only relatively) cheap for a given amount of space. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.38.196.235 (talk) 00:48, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
