Posted by italianstallion on Sat Dec 9 20:04:09 2017, in response to Re: [PHOTOS] The D-Type ''Triplex'' Original Look, posted by italianstallion on Sat Dec 9 20:02:34 2017. By which I mean the issue Bill from Maspeth raised with the proposed articulated open-gangway cars in another post --As a train operator (happily retired), the open gangway cars will cause issues for RTO to address. If a train goes BIE and there is zero clearance, he has to go down in between the cars and check things like the trip cock, signals (you don't want a stop arm up), debris that tripped the train, 12-9, etc. This cannot be effectively be done since the only way down in the front car, the rear car, or mid train between the 5th and 6th cars where the c/r will be stationed. The train will not be able to be properly checked underneath. If there is a stop arm up underneath the train, IDK how he can get to it, or even find it. Inside the train suppose there is a chemical attack? The fumes easily can go from one car to another. RTO will indeed have something to say about open gangways. If we get them, some procedures would need to be changed. But no matter what they do, the train may not be able to be properly inspected when the BIE occurs underground. |
