   Yes there is - with no signal power, all signals get set to "stop",   
   the trip arms raise, and the trains cannot "key by" without specific   
   permission from RCC, which of course was running around like a chicken   
   with its head chopped off.  Even then, only the first train nearest a   
   station could get in, still stalling all trains behind.   
      
   Then again, what do I know - I haven't been on a NY subway train since   
   2007.   
      
   No doubt this will be hashed out in detail by the TA veterans at the   
   next meeting of the Electric Railroaders Association this coming   
   Friday.
