I wonder what the standard procedure is. Put the train in park and walk through before shutting off? Wait for confirmation from employees on the platform? Are mirrors supposed to be sufficient?
That's a good question.
I seem to recall an incident (though probably a good 15+ years ago) where a passenger fell asleep on a GL train, wasn't noticed, and woke up with the train parked in Riverside yard, so it does seem like they don't always make sure everyone is completely off the trains before shutting down. (On the plus side, the doors not recycling because the train was shut down at least means it can't cause another dragged-passenger incident.)
