They used to, but after the Fort Totten crash and due to incidents of TOs not remembering if they had 6 or 8 cars and stopping short when they had the latter, they decided to have trains pull all the way up. They disabled the safety system that prevents off platform door openings in 2008 or so due to electromagnetic interference from power upgrades to support 8 car train operations, to my knowledge that isn't fixed either. When ATO resumes and they get that safety system back up, I think SOP should be that only trains being driven manually should pull all the way up. |
