The Insides of a Business Train?

[PJAMA]

I was right by my old High School the other day next to the CSX Philly Sub, and I saw the business train go by. I was wondering if anyone knows specifically what the inside of every business train on NS, CSX, UP, & BNSF look like. I know they use old Pullman/Budd Cars, but what do they look like inside?

I'm sorry, but every time I look at a picture of a business train, I'm curious to wonder who's riding on it, and what it looks like inside. And if trains like this are able to run on these lines, why can't Amtrak or any other Commuter Rail? Plus I tried Google Images, and nothing...

To be in the "for hire" passenger business, you have to maintain certain standards of tracks, certain levels of insurance, and so forth. Could be any of a number of reasons: the line could be too busy with freight for passenger service, the line may not be built to sufficient levels for regular passenger service, the line may not be where Amtrak or a commuter rail wants to go, whatever. Remember, "trains like these" are not passenger trains. They are trains owned by the railroad that runs it, typically hauling railroad employees on railroad business. Sure, they have the odd event here and there that they haul employees, family, guests, etc. to special events (I want to say the NS going to the Kentucky Derby comes to mind for some reason), but even then, it is still railroad business (reward for employees, fostering goodwill with family and guests, etc.).
