I understand that the engineer has no side egress on tracks 3 and 4 - at least a P42 has a rear door that cam lead to a passenger car.
This points out that passengers only have egress out of the foward and rear doors of an EMU and the rear door of a Bomb car.
This gets tricky when you have a push/pull sandwitch between two locomomotives. Even with a P32 as mentioned before its hard to imagine civilians
sqeezing by a hot prime mover in emergency conditions.
Can anyone comment what the side egress is in the west side tunnel into PSNY?
Regardless, what was the Amtrak equipment doing in GCT yesterday anyway? A test for the summer?
