They really think motormen are maniacs. even if you wrap it around after the last arm goes down, you will only be able to hit 15, maybe 20 miles-not enough to commit suicide with a bumper. You might even be able to tow the train away. the most that can happen is a delay for a day, and lawsuites due to "injuries".PATH is far more reasonable in this sense. Hah, and that replacement of AIR with Electric switches seems dumb-dumb too. They use air for the sump pumps anyways, and if it ain't broke, don't BREAK it. They can't fathom that an old system CAN be reliable, as it was for a century. Why reinvent the wheel? I can imagine the elctric switches getting jammed, and then the tremendous currents overheating the components. Air doors were superior in this sense as well. Also electronics don't like the damp environment where manny switches are located. |
