The 2x4 in the front door reminded me of something...
When I was young, I rode the BMT Standards on the Canarsie Line with my dad. One Sunday, we got off the B-42 at Rockaway Parkway and went to the front-car of a BMT standard. As the train rounded the left hand curve between East 105th Street and New Lots, the front storm-door flew open. Luckily, no one was leaning on it. My Dad pulled me back. At Sutter Avenue, a TA mechanic (or someone), climbed onto the front of the train and wedged a piece of wood into the door to keep it closed.
Sounds like we were both in the same car. I too am surprised they would leave it in service. Especially on the front car!!
