In the late 1990s, a group of commuters would board the early-morning Amtrak train from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C. They'd sit in the first car behind the locomotive, enjoying communal, consensual silence. Eventually and with the conductor's help, their car was officially designated as a noise-free zone. Soon after, Denise LaBencki-Fullmer, an Amtrak manager, recognized the value of a peaceful ride and institutionalized the program as the quiet car. At the request of passengers, it soon spread to a number of other commuter services.
