Posted by JPC on Sat Apr 4 14:56:49 2009, in response to Re: Real 11-car Train April Fools Joke, posted by JPC on Sat Apr 4 14:51:13 2009. Or another possibility...Wire up an 11-car train so that the front 2 doors (of 4) on the first car, and the last 2 doors (of 4) on the last car do not open (or only open at stations which are certified to be able to berth a full 11-car train. That way, no cars are "cut off" - you'd just have to move to the front or rear half of the car, if you were in one of the end cars - and this would be clear, because those end doors wouldn't open at many other stations either. Plus it gives an "express" feel to the ends of the end cars since you wouldn't have people getting on and off at every stop. What would need to be done in that case is that the T/O stop marker and the zebra (and C/R cameras, if present) would have to be moved ~30 feet. In a few cases, block boundaries might have to shift, if they are located right at the edge of a station. |
