Do you have any clue how metal conducts electricity? How the fuck do they "isolate" one section without it arcing to the next, herp derp!

Each car has an emergency brake; if pulled, the entire train goes BIE (Brakes In Emergency), same as if the train passed a steady red signal.

Oh, here you go.

UPDATE: MTA spokesperson Charles Seaton writes, "These switches are located in areas that are NOT accessible to subway customers. They are not on the station platform." And they're not accessible to the token booth clerk, either. Seaton declined to elaborate on their exact location, for obvious reasons.


Did you get that? NOT accessible to subway customers! Very interesting, time to concede Kraut! You don't know shit!

Each platform has an emergency off switch. May not be well publicized, but they do.

Guy this whole argument started because I simply stated the off switch for the third rail power IS NOT accessible to the public and I proved my point, end of discussion! Trains obviously have brakes, they obviously have emergency brakes, there is obviously a switch to turn off power to the third rail, this is all common sense that everybody who has ever rode on a subway knows, they arte not accessible to the public, at least not in NYC.
