Prongs or Fingers Extending out of Car 2539x? Hi T/0's - perhaps you can answer this one. Car 2539X has perhaps 4 or 5 "fingers" or rather semi-pointed flat blades sticking out of the left side of the cab. This was a mid-consist car and the rest of the train didn't have this "feature." What gives? Something to catch inter-office mail? Sorry I didn't have time to take a photo. BTW - these fingers or prongs run parallel to the track (pointing forward). |

That makes no sense. How can people fall between cars while boarding? But considering some people im not supprised.

for BART to look into installing barriers, someone must of fallen and I am guessing they used the lawsuit word.

That sounds like them. I caught sight of them last Friday evening on a Pittburg/Bay Point train at Balboa Park. I'm guesstimating they're a foot off the platform level and they stick out flush with the car. If two cars had them installed, it looks to be enough to prevent anyone from accidentally falling into the gap between the joined cars.
