- 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.




This assumes that when the lever is pulled that the conductor would know why it's being pulled.
