I haven't taken this particular train in a while, but for a while I had occasion to take the 6:57 AM from Freeport, which usually had a wheelchair passenger boarding in Rockville Centre. This required the plate to be brought out and a small delay while that passenger boarded. Because it was express to Penn after that, they could make up the time and it wasn't a big deal, but it's worth mentioning.I think one reason that law is ignored is that the railroad would rather be sued for an ADA violation than sued on account of a disabled passenger injury caused by what the person's lawyers would argue was negligence, regardless of the ADA requirements. If a plate will prevent an injury, plate it is. The plate also covers up gap problems, both vertical and horizontal. |
