Posted by Joe on Fri Jul 6 13:18:45 2018, in response to BMT El train lengths, posted by SUBWAYMAN on Fri Jul 6 10:55:49 2018. A friend's Dad was a gate man on Myrtle or Lexington. The friend remarked how his father had to use two hefty levers to work the gates, and that the gate opened not into the crowd but by slipping to the side, out of the way.-- In an attempt to find a photo of working gates between Myrtle or Lexington gate cars, I perused more than 700 photos of BMT gate trains. I did not get the mid-train gate operation that I was searching for, as railfans tended to take front-end photos. However, I noticed that most gate trains were three cars. That is, they probably had a motorman and two gate men. Link to nycsubway.com photos |
