This is why the runaway train scene in Spider-Man 2 always ticked me off. Spider-Man didn't need to nearly die, someone just had to pull the emergency brake! That's without mentioning subway trains are built around "dead-man" brakes -the train only moves so long as the driver's actively at the controls.

There are no steering wheels in the train therefore the train really isn't driven it's operated. Also the 'dead man' switch is called the master controller. This is used to both propel and bring the train to a controlled stop.

In the UK, the emergency alarms on trains used to be connected to the emergency braking system. However, now, they set off an alarm in the cab. The driver will press a button which will activate the intercom, where a passenger could talk to the driver and describe the emergency. If the driver does not dismiss the alarm within about ten seconds, the emergency brakes apply. The emergency brakes can also be triggered if a driver doesn't dismiss the AWS horn in time. The AWS is an alarm that is triggered when the train goes over a test magnet or over a treadle when the next signal is yellow or red. Or if a driver passes a signal at danger (red). This is called a SPAD.

Great video on the use of emergency brakes! I learned something new today

Thanks for a PSA video about emergency brakes, MTA. : )

On October 29th of 2023, I was in R46 train car #5611 on the N train southbound and when stopping at 23rd Street, the train doors closed on someone’s dog and then the train was moving. Everyone was panicking and screaming “blood” and then I pounced out of my seat and pulled the train’s emergency brake to stop the train to alert the conductor. I almost thought it was a person’s arm caught in that door but it was someone’s dog caught in the door that everyone panicked about. Because the train had no intercoms to reach the conductor with, I had no choice but to use the emergency brake and sure enough the conductor responded ASAP to the situation. The delay lasted a total of 11 minutes.

The only time I was on a train when the emergency brakes was activated was July 2022, I was on G train to Flushing ave and when my the car got to 21st in Queens, my head got hit onto the cab door but I luckily didn't fell down and I was glad I wasn't bleeding. I was all good

Also, something that has to do with the tripping device, it can be activated in dangerous situations. For example, a red light (train ahead), or excessive speed (if you have a special type of security system for this). Each traffic light has a lever that goes up in red, causing the emergency brake to be activated, and goes down in green, where the train has a clear path.

Seriously, the MTA needed to admonish the. General Public about putting themselves or any objects in the path of an oncoming train!!

Wonderful video

MTA just had gotten sick of the brakes being pulled by people.

There also can be emg breaks when a overshoot station

The only legitimate reason a passenger should pull the emergency brakes is if a person is being entrapped in the car doors or if smoke or fire breaks out inside the railcar. Otherwise, all other problems can wait until the train stops at the next station. Then, it will be safe for passengers to escape the affected car and step on the station platform which will be safe.

Also Sydney and Melbourne use the same "trip" system as NYC, but up sized! Also regarding the last part (Emergency tip lever) what is the history?

Fascinating...

I've never seen any track devices that would trigger the brakes in the USA at least. The video alsomissed the fact that emergency brakes automatically activate due to train separation.

What borough is the Lurch Avenue Station on the J line in?

And it’s a R160 seimens , that makes it more funny 😂

Isn't the rule "the train will stop if any part of the train is in a station, otherwise the train will continue to the next station where help can more easily be given"? That is the London Underground rule which has been in place for decades.

it slows down like a roblox train or like a openBVE train, which has slow braking.

NYC trains are the same in almost every way like Australian trains _(Sydney and Melbourne)_ but the Trip lever is on the left of the train and Sydney trains are double decker! I believe this idea _(Automatic Emergency)_ was because many years ago a NYC train ran a stop signal and crashed in to another train, before that they used air pressure to apply the brakes, since the crash, they reversed the braking system (emergency) that air keeps the brakes off! *FAIL SAFE*

Why are there even emergency brakes inside the cars? Like in what situation would a passenger know it's appropriate to stop the train where the driver doesn't? Like there's already the emergency intercom, seems like that should be enough?

I don't think the emergency handle in the trains in L.A. do anything. I've seen passengers pull the ones near the doors all the time. They might need to push them back in while at the station, but they don't stop the trains.

That device at the track that is used to stop a train quickly is called a "trip hammer," or "stop arm." When a signal light is "red," the stop arm is raised, so that when the train moves, the actuator of the railcar will touch the trip hammer, causing it to move slightly, and the pressure air to be released, while the brake shoes be tightly pressed against the surface of the wheels, thus bring the train to a full stop. On the A-Division tracks, the trip hammer is raised up at the right side of the track; on the B-Division, B1-Division, formerly BMT, and B-2-Division, formerly IND, the trip hammer is tilted and located at the left side of the track.

The round head at the top makes the apparatus look like a hammer. When the apparatus is in its upright position and the first car passes a red signal, the brake actuator is moved by the triphammer, and it will actuate the train's brakes with a tripping process, thus causing an emergency brake to occur. Also, that apparatus piece is called a "stop arm."
