Lots of cars have broken HVAC and cab windows that can't be closed (the counterbalance is broken, so it takes a large force to close the window). Unfortunately, that makes the cab noisy, so it's hard for central to contact a train. <BR/><BR/>The emphasis is on getting the cars rolling, so HVAC gets triaged out. But, always call in the car number on the intercom, preferably on a quiet,outdoor stretch of track. That way, the TO can call in the hot car, and eventually it will get fixed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17347513.post-34329648760700103872008-09-20T04:27:00.000-07:002008-09-20T04:27:00.000-07:00Operators have no direct control over the temperat...Operators have no direct control over the temperature (or varying temperatures) on each train car.

I'm not sure the cars can regulate temperature between those extremes without making at least one person uncomfortablePantograph Trolleypolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833159138533550544noreply@blogger.com
