These are for trained track workers to use. There are protocols (which I will not get into on Reddit) that need to be followed to cut the power. Simply pulling the lever in these boxes will NOT cut the power. If someone is on the tracks call 911 and/or find an MTA employee. Do not enter the tracks to pull the emergency box.
