Your question could, and should develop into and enlightening discussion of what the standard procedures were on the original IND.I was not there on the original IND, but I do possess a 1932 IND rule book. The rule book calls for a 3 man crew on a 10 car train. 1 Motorman, his duties are obvious. 1 Conductor in charge of the train, who would position himself between the 1st and second car and have control of the doors of the first car Independent of his control of the doors in the 2nd, third, fourth, and fifth cars. 1 Conductor, Assistant Conductor, or Trainman, who would position himself between the 9th and 10th car and have control of the doors in the 10th car independent of his control of the doors in the 9th, 8th, 7th, and 6th cars. My understanding and experience with door control drum switches, it is indeed possible to establish two separate door operating positions on a train. Each with two separate operating zones. Michael |
