A car can be cut out, but that means the doors won't open until the car is cut back in. That would require someone to be present in the cab to do that repeatedly during a trip in which it is desired to have the doors open in the first/last car sometimes but not all the time. That's essentially what happened when 11-car trains were operated in the 1950s; a "Rear Guard" was employed to open (or not) the 11th car. Randy's suggesting that the door control circuits be modified so that the doors in the first/last car don't open at selected stations but do open at others.David |
