To tell the passengers the third rail is off only compounds the problem because he more than likely does not know between what sectionalizing switches.There are signs at the at both end of the interlockings on both tracks that indicated how the segments of third rail fed and from where they are fed. I don't know of a system which relies upon the indication in the control center to verify third rail power being deactivated. They tell the guys in the field what their indication shows, then the guys in the field verify that the third rail is indeed deenergized. Unless WMATA has changed things, as I recall, the blue lights that mark the locations of the emergency trip station / phone box go out when the third rail is de-energized. |
