The BRT/BMT storm door key looks like a smaller version of a SMEE
A division storm door key, except there is a little offset in the
blade. The BRT elevated division cab door key is a barrel key, i.e.
the business end of the key is hollowed out. It looks like a typical
RR switch padlock key but much smaller, maybe 2" log and the barrel
ID is about 3/16".

I've operated elevated equipment with the "backwards" controller
and brake positions and more traditional stuff such as R-9 sometimes
within minutes of each other and never felt any urge to cross hands.
The el cars with the M-19 brake valves had a lap position at 6 oclock,
whereas ME-23 valves have lap more like 7:30. And of course the
elevated controllers look like old-style manual elevator controls.
So there is no confusion...it's a totally different feel. But I can
imagine going between D types and R9s might be tough.
