Automatic Train Operation controls the train’s acceleration, deceleration, and speed.
ATO takes over some tasks for operators so they can better observe safety concerns, monitor track conditions, and close the doors when passengers are safely onboard.

Did you know, when temperatures rise, sometimes metal rails expand? 🥵
That’s why we’re conducting more “heat rides.” Heat rides detect any “heat kinks,” which are bends in the rail caused by thermal expansion. ☀️
This is one way to help keep you safe during extreme heat!
