There is usually a signal that warns the driver the door is open
Not only did the door how to close, it signaled to the driver that it was closed
The signal disables the train. The train though the door was closed. So don’t blame the operator.
The train should have a working lock-out device that would prevent the train from moving forward with any door open.
The person should try to foss the doors open and tell the driver I opened the doors and everyone won’t be scared anymore🤭
42 year old car, no wonder why there were technical issues tf
Subway equip typically has a life expectancy of at least 30 yrs.
You The MBTA soaked up 7 billion dollars in big dig legacy dept. ?? Thank Baker for that one. You also realize the MBTA is one of the cheapest in the country. So you want new everything with out paying for it?? How about taxing businesses that benefit from it the most.
They have this place called the "Car Barn"-where they are supposed to fix things like these..like taking your car to the garage?
@@genekelly8467 no. It’s a Carhouse. And yeah. Fixing is what happens after it break. They’ll do an audit next.
The problem isn't that it is old -- the problem is that it isn't maintained.
Well in San Francisco people hang off the sides of cable cars careening down steep hills so this is nothing
Exactly lmao, just stay away from the obviously open door. It’s not like you’re gonna get sucked out. People are pussies.
@@connorcallahan1915 space vacuum. Watch out.
Careening? ...at 9 MPH
As a retired Inspector of the MBTA that train should not have moved at all in the motorman’s control there is a door signal that the would have given the motorman the ok to moved the train the motorman should not have gotten the door signal the only way that train could have moved with that door open if the train was on door by-pass I have a funny idea that motorman was on door bypass
Don't attack a brother publicly without any sort of proof.
Depends on where the proving switch for the door leaf was. Is on the door. Nope. It’s most likely on the actuator which left the door behind.
Inspector. You realize that you dint fox the trains and never did. You name does not imply you mechanical knowaledge. A weld on the door leaf broke. There are zero proving switches on that door leaf. Why do I know. The train moved.
@@ianc435 Was that from an investigation? I never heard any follow-up in the press.
Well no one has to stay in that car. Could move.
while they're actively riding in it?
Common sense would be move away from the area by the faulty door or just change cars. Use your brain, it's not like a plane with a open door where you'd get sucked out so just be weary and sensible
india style 😂😂😂😂
Nick Dalton was mad about this
That is why you should clear snow and ice from the door track. What do MBTA employees do?
Exactly that, but during a blizzard it's going to get caked up again at some point.
MBTA employees be listening 2 Da Baby tracks, not clearing no door tracks...
We’ll ask the MBTA Amd baker why they got rid of two operators on trains?? How’s that working out.
Well they outsourced the platform agents to start with. How’s that working out for you. And secondly. It was a fatigue on the door. You know cause they’ve been in service for 42 years.
Those MBTA Orange Line T Trains 🚃 are so old. I like the newer ones 🚃 better. Also, the doors on the older Orange Line Trains 🚃 don’t shut properly.
Had I been on that train and in that car where the doors were wide open, I most definitely and MOST CERTAINLY would have been fearing for myself and other people. because, that is just SUPER DANGEROUS! I have no idea what else what have happened had that been the third rail even. But, let me tell you all that is a super serious and scary situation there. Most importantly, I am extremely thankful someone reported that right off the bat.
Omg super dangerous. If it was crowded yes. But it wasn’t. So stop your dramatic bs. It’s not the space shuttle with the vacuum of space where you’ll get sucked out. You literally would have to walk up to the door and throw yourself out.
Ok
Wow this incident really hit you on a personal level. Ok.
New trains need more seats!!!
my guess is a mechanical failure.
0:10
The train is at the previous station.
Doors: Preparing to close..
Doors: Closing...
This door: ERROR: Door motor jammed, cannot continue!
I would have waited till my stop to report it... just saying.
Yet people stayed in that cart like an idiot.
Yeah. Cause the vacuum from
Outer space would have sucked them out. Of coarse d they stayed in the car. You want to jump from a moving train. The last thing a train does before it moves….closes the doors or attempts. What’s your solution genius??
@@ianc435 I live in New York. People would be smart to not enter into a cart where the doors were opened and didn't close.
@@darkpisces8125 people enter a car when the doors are open. Not closed.
@@darkpisces8125 really??? ruclips.net/video/lKzA505Npeo/видео.html
Old like everything in Massachusetts
That's to dangerous.😮
Just another day on the T
Don't worry MBTA maintenance is on this, it will be fixed within 6 to 12 years. New trains only one decade late. Time to pull the plug on the MBTA, this is one organization that is completely lost track of what it is they do and how they're supposed to do it.
Don’t worry. People don’t want to pay for new trains. We are one of the cheapest transits I. The country. So until you want to shell out the doe. Shhhhhh
I fell out
Hope you ok. I fell out three times last year.
Why would you go on a cart with a broken door?
@@darkpisces8125 i was joking wen you want to make a sarcastic line make it 3 words and say the obvious im not a fan of idioms i hate idioms but i do it on you tube instead of writing a story try it one a few videos its funny as long as your not being mean towards some one as in say that "i "and not some one else feell out
@@darkpisces8125 you can only use 3 words its a game i did not make this game up
@@andrew_trucker wait what kind of game? Maybe I can use on some of my friends. And oh my bad.
Da New MBTA Orange Line Cars Is TRASH
At least with the new ones the doors stay shut.
@@TransitAndTeslas They should be more focused on staying on the tracks if anything
@@MarloSoBalJr it’s the tracks that are the problem. Not the train. They are to heavy for exsist of infrastructure
@@TransitAndTeslas Do they? You should look into that one.
@@TransitAndTeslas No guarantee of that.
Maybe don’t use a train car from 1902 and start running more of the new ones.
The old cars were introduced in 1980 or 1981.
@@IzzyBone10000 I understood City life's point
So happy to see the old hawker Siddley cars removed from service. They were old and unsafe and dirty
Dilapidated and dysfunctional MBTA vehicles put more vulnerable passengers at risk. I am glad the person they interviewed made that point in the video.
Risk?? You’d literally have to run and jump out the door. Omg scary.
1) Why didn't the guy you interviewed stop the train by pulling the emergency valve if he was concerned for the safety of his fellow passengers?
2) This was not blizzard related. Do some research channel 5. All trains are designed with a safety system which prevents power from being applied if any door is not secured, whether a person holding a door or ice in the channel, if a door is open power cannot be applied. This was a mechanical issue cause by a maintenance failure, it doesn't matter how old the car is Was the door light working on the side of the affected car? Was it illuminated while the train was moving? Demand the maintenance records for that car.
3) if there was a guard on that train, the crewperson who used to operated the doors & watch out for the passengers, it is a real probability he or she may have seen the open door immediately & stopped the train. The motorman cannot see behind himself while operating the train. BTW what car did this happen on? First car, last car?
4) This is why you shouldn't lean against the doors!
The power applied. It’s called a green light. So the green light was made around the door because of where the switch was placed. If it was each leaf then it would have worked. But it most likely on the actuator for the door. Not the first time this type of failure has happens of any MBTA heavy rail train.
@@ianc435 A green light? never saw this happen. Not saying it hasn't but I would say it's extremely rare.
@@aodhganmerrimac the technical term for all doors closed is green light. If the train loses green light it triggers a no motion fault
@@ianc435 Not on the MBTA as far I know. There is a button in the motorman's cab that will make an audible buzzing when pressed only if all doors are closed & secured & while the train can roll power will not engage. Doors are closed by both electricity & air with gravity essentially locking the doors. In the days of two man crews it was usual for the motorman to bring the brakes to minimum releasing some air as signal to close up doors. He would depress the "door automatics" button, when doors closed the buzzer sounded & he would then release brakes & apply power. The guard was required to keep his head out the window for a short distance to make sure the side of the train remained clear. Since there was a very slight chance of a bad connection in the battery buttons in the drawbar, a smart guard would always close the rear unit first.
@@aodhganmerrimac ok. . Go ask the next operator what the term Green light means and then get back to me. The cab indicated on the annunciation panel which doors are at fault or open. And the dash the operator sees doors closed indication. That light is green. Hence the name green light. The doors carry the propulsion signs l down one side of the train and back up the other. P signal it’s called. Doors don’t close. No p signal. The Audi Le signal is when’s. Train sets up. When it sets up all signals such as p signal and brake signal complete the loop.
I love how the only report the MBTA will get our negative ones. It doesn't matter that they were still running in the middle of a freaking blizzard to get you to your meaningless places in your meaningless lives. If it was that big of a deal they could have just hit the call button and the operator would have stopped the train. Funny how that's not mentioned though. Anything for a view!
I weas amazined how cheap the new trains look and feel
