They have concerns about using ATO if workers might be on the tracks. Seems odd to me they claim to have the ability to press a button that can suspend ATO systemwide but they can't only suspend it in or near work zones. |

Related question for you John, IIRC the system that prevents the doors opening when a train is improperly berthed is a component of ATP that works regardless of whether or not the doors are set in auto/manual, auto/auto, or manual/manual correct? |

Seems odd to me they claim to have the ability to press a button that can suspend ATO systemwide but they can't only suspend it in or near work zones.'Claim' is the operative word. Automatic Train Operation is to my knowledge a 100% train board function. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore. |

I guess the real concern is that operators may get complacent and not pay attention for workers on the tracks or whether it should be enabled or disables, so they are going with the easy route of always on for some hours, always off for others. |

Not that the Class 1s don't screw up, but at least they have evolved procedures that mostly keep trackworkers safe, Amtrak excepted. Recent thread about BART being fined for killing two during a strike. |

Recent thread about BART being fined for killing two during a strike.It's the exact opposite, WMATAs' safety rules are convoluted and over complicated to the point of being contradictive. The rule book runs over 1,200 pages. Internally it is know as the brick. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore. |
