The much improved (I thought) version read
At night, rave near the guard's compartment naked with a blue light.

About the Rat
Black Knight is interested in the interaction of science (as a day job and as a way of thinking) with his family, the wider community and literature. And tormenting students. Frequently polemical, sometimes serious, and hopefully always entertaining more

Ah, you haven't been paying attention BK. That is a standard alteration that's been happening to train cars for at least 10 years now.
I agree it's a great improvement though.
