An emergency button would not be a bad idea, but it could fall prey to vandals who would press it just for kicks to stop the service. When I worked the Command Center, we had numerous incidents of vandals activating the emergency alarm boxes (which removes power from all tracks in the area) since many of those boxes were close to the platform areas. SOP was to call the emergency phone which was part of the associated equipment at the EA box and if we got no response, the trainmaster (nowadays the supt) would call system operator to restore the power. In the meantime trains on all lines passing through the area would be delayed for as long as it would take to investigate and restore power. |
