The Law

As the railroad expanded across the state, rowdy, intoxicated passengers became a massive headache for conductors and other travelers. To maintain order on the rails, the state legislature passed a specific law criminalizing public intoxication while on a locomotive. The bar car might serve you, but you legally aren't allowed to enjoy it too much.
