sovetskii52 Posted May 9, 2011 Share #18 Posted May 9, 2011 I remember riding a redbird train in 1998 or 1999 looking out the railfan window in the front. I used to pull the handle which opens and closes the door when the train began accelerating. Once, i pulled on the handle, and the front door opened. I knocked on the operators door, the woman opened it, i showed her that the door is unlocked. She got out, and locked the door. And thanked me.
