TTC - Out of Service... to Kipling's Tailtracks! (Bombardier T1)

Like definitely!! Last week I was very lucky! I saw how one train entered tail track at Kipling station and the other one exited the tail track from an opposite side! I wish I could be on that train heading to Kipling's tail track, but unfortunately it's not allowed for passengers (riders). By the way I am wondering: How operator exiting the train in tail track?

[@MiRideGTA]

This was something I've been wondering to myself as well for some time! After parking their train in the tailtracks, the operator would exit through the emergency exit on the front ends of the unit and *with plenty of care and awareness of the third rail,* walk back to the stairs leading back to the platform.
