At the crossover junction of the Blue Line and Expo Line, who activates the track switching? Does the train’s motorman do that? Or is it activated by remote control? Or, is it fully automatic?
Hmm, “train control system”, I wonder if this means heavy signal prioritization or preemption. Lets hope so…
