Posted by Broadway Lion on Wed Jul 24 17:16:33 2019, in response to Re: Why are MTA workers not striking due to tonight's conductor assault?, posted by Bill from Maspeth on Wed Jul 24 15:12:28 2019. The LION has a plan for this. It will look ugly on the new trains, but so what. It can be built into subsequent models.1) Remove the existing windows. 2) Install a pair of hinged windows that open outward 3) There is a third window on the outside. This is pushed open when you open the inside windows. This puts the conductor in a protected box when he leans out of the train. 4) When the train leaves the station this window will try to close automatically after a run of about 100'. If the conductor tries to hold it open beyond this the train goes BIE. Just think of like one of the side windows on a side-window caboose, except that you fold it out when you need it and it closes when you are done with it. The power to open it comes from the conductor's box of Wheaties. A motor, springs or an air piston will try to close it after the train starts moving. ROAR |
