How much pressure to trip arm

Recommended Posts


What happens is, usually anything in the way of the shoe I guess, cause I think that trips the train, would, could, and will trip the train. Usually happens when a train passes a red signal and hits the trip arm. I would imagine you asked this because of the recent incident in the subway.....

The Automatic is less force but a homeball you need a lot of pressure. The trick is when it don't retain you have to keep presure on the stop arm with you foot and bend down and hook the stop arm down.

 

Good information there. Not that I'm going to jump down onto the tracks and try it out for myself.
