TJ:
The LIRR M1 cars had a door control called a passenger release button when they were built between 1968 and
1972 and since they were a source of door problems this feature was removed by the middle 1970s...
The River Line DMU cars have a door enter/exit button that can be used when all doors are not needed to be
opened at stations and to keep cars comfortable inside when they are at their terminals in Camden and Trenton...
