In a door bypass scenario, can an engineer accept 2 shorts on the communicating buzzer to proceed?

In a door bypass scenario, the engineer should not accept two shorts on the communicating buzzer to proceed. This is crucial for maintaining safety and operational integrity. The communicating buzzer provides essential feedback about the status of the doors, and receiving two shorts typically indicates a malfunction or potential issue that needs to be addressed. Accepting such signals could compromise safety, as it may mean that the door(s) are not properly secured or could open during transit, which poses significant risks to passengers and crew.

The practice ensures that the engineer adheres to protocols designed to mitigate risks, ensuring that any anomalies are investigated and resolved before proceeding. This strict adherence to proper signaling not only upholds safety standards but also aligns with operational procedures set forth in the LIRR Operating Rule Book.
