      Train, with passengers, took off without the motorman.       http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2015/12/10/red-line-train-leave       -station-without-operator/L5NzTcDEX8dMQCQLvC7UBN/story.html              I don't understand how the train could operate without the 'deadman'       being engaged. The article said something about a 'bypass' switch,       but that sounded like a signal bypass. A deadman was required       any time a train moved.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
