Posted by MainR3664 on Thu Jan 9 07:49:48 2020, in response to Re: The incident involving R-179 cars doors was in service on (C) line (Tuesday PM rush), posted by Steve B-8AVEXP on Wed Jan 8 21:52:12 2020. I remember in the 1970s, the rubber seals/weatherstripping (someone with TA experience can tell us the proper name, I suppose) on the door panels had no grooves or treads to interlock the 2 panels- it was convex.And the door panels moved a bit with the movement of the train- I noticed intermittent gaps of somewhere between 1/8 and 1/4 inch appearing and closing up as trains moved. I'm sure others remember this as well. Almost common sense told you "stay away from that". But I'm also the type of person not fixated on the "good old days" that often weren't really that good. Subway doors that stay fully closed are definitely a better thing. |
