They automatically open once the train is correctly berthed on the platform. As I understand it, the operator has to close them manually, but the train starts moving automatically once they’re closed.

Reminds me of the Dexter’s Laboratory episode where Dexter and Dee Dee keep TFing each other with a ray gun.

I see. Reminds me of one of my favorite Bob Dylan lines (from the song “Not Dark Yet”): “Behind every beautiful thing, there’s some kind of pain.” Death brings new life. Most of what sustains life is a result of a prior death.

To do this, DOGE created a "mega" system for sharing tax data, upending long-standing protections & exposing millions of Americans' sensitive information to fraud & abuse. We took DOGE to court to protect sensitive data at the Social Security Administration, and won. We will do it again at the IRS.

It’s called the Jack Martin Garden, named after a former President (the position now known as Chair) of @railpassengers.org. There’s a little plaque with his name on it.
