On a real metra train, the second level is open to the center of the train. Most of the seats up there face toward the inside and fold down like stadium seats. I used to love going up there as a kid. Loads of memories on these trains. They really nailed the window tinting.
I live in the Chicago suburbs. The Metra passenger car windows are tinted just the same as the Kato car set. The train conductors normally keep passengers in two cars. Only when most seats are filled will the next car be opened at the next station.
4:16 On all the Metra and South Shore Line bilevels, the upper level is single row only except for possibly the ends. The open area is where the conductors can reach and collect tickets from the upper level.
The orange filter is to make the interior lights incandescent/flourescent. Without the filter, the lights are fluorescent/LED. It depends on what era you're modeling and what lights were specific to that era. In my experience, riding Metra trains daily, the corrugated cars all had fluorescent lighting. They might have changed to LEDs more recently. I only recall incandescent lighting on old Budd and Pullman cars.

I have HO Pullman cars and I put the orange filter in both of my cars
Nice metra train
At 10:00 I like the green lights the best. I don’t like the indirect light.
