Re: The RFW Served a Purpose

When a speed reduction is called for, an alarm goes off in the cab to let the T/O know to slow down. If you ever became a T/O you would be surprised what you can see if you have to. You will see the trackway, the air gauge, and the screen all at the same time.
The SEPTA subway -surface trolleys have this in the tunnel, and operator friend showed us what happens when you exceed the allowed speed. The alarm buzzes, the trolley brakes come on and the cars stops.He flips open a cabinet door under the seat platform on his right side,and does a reset! Then off we go!
