Question about PA-Series Cars Re: PA5 Pics |

Posted by JayZeeBMT on Sun Mar 1 10:38:09 2009, in response to Re: PA5 Pics, posted by Train Man Paul : Metro-North's Best Conductor FOR ALL 3 LINES!!! on Sun Mar 1 09:58:31 2009. Are PATH cars considered subway cars or railroad cars? It seems that PATH, with all the other features of a "subway system" would be looked upon as such (off-train fare collection, two-person crews, subway-style operation)...but IIRC, PATH was designated a "railroad" years ago, with FRA oversight. Is this still the case today?I'm doing "jailhouse lawyer" legal research, because there is a disparity in what is legal on PATH vs. NYCT, for example, photography and walking between cars, which is permitted on PATH but illegal on NYCT. The law in NYC states, "No person shall use the end doors of a subway car to pass between one car and another", but as the law does not specify NYCT exclusively, it must apply to all "subway cars" in the five boroughs, no? Conversely, if photography is legal in NYC and NYS, can PATH have a "rule" or "law" that contravenes NYS law? |
