[QUOTE="Rob562, post: 6952174, member: 13585"] A friend who is a former bellhop was doing a morning ride-through and was accidentally advanced past Unload by the CM stationed there (who thought they were just cycling empty vehicles). Then his AGV stopped before entering a Load shaft because they'd stopped cycling additional vehicles after his. He couldn't get out because it's unsafe to do so with the system still powered up, so he had to yell until a CM in Tower Control (or the office depending on which side it was on) heard him through the wall and they could cycle the ride more to bring him back up to Load. That probably explains the backstage lights-on photos I saw a while back that showed a bunch of tool chests on the Unload floor next to the Load lifts, presumably on the Foxtrot side. At the time I thought it was just so they could do work on an AGV overnight if they didn't have room to pull it into the shop. But now that I know there isn't a shop on Foxtrot side I guess those tools are there for when it's easier to do simple maintenance on-track when the system is powered down without having to bring the AGV all the way over to the shop. -Rob [/QUOTE]
