No one is arguing that a drop center doesn't make sense for a bi level.
It just doesn't make sense in a single level, at least not in American
Practice. American single level cars have floors that are above the
trucks, from one vestibule to the other. Only equipment goes below floor
level.
There are rare exceptions, but none in long distance passenger service.
