- if the train is within the station limits, that lever can be active
- in case of fire the lever should alert the conductor. And the conductor should quickly make the best correct response. Often the passengers don't know that a station could be 20 seconds away and could clear out the train faster. The dispatch could clear a path for the train to speed to a better location than stuck in a tunnel with potentially nearly no place to evacuate to. Do you evacuate to ongoing train traffic? hell no! We have fire detectors, we could install them in every cart.
