The trio toasted the bar car, being retired from Metro-North's New Haven Line after Friday's afternoon rush hour. The cars were a fixture on Metro-North Railroad trains for at least a half century. The cars, decked out with orange walls and faux wood paneling, are being retired Friday, because they cannot be coupled to the new fleet of train cars on the New Haven line. (AP Photo/Michael R.

In this April 16, 2014 photo taken with a mobile phone by deceased South Korean high school student Park Su-hyeon and released by his father Park Jong-dae, students are shown inside the sinking ferry Sewol on waters near Jindo, South Korea. Soon after the ferry begins to tilt, nervous laughter can be heard from the high school students huddled below deck.
