   Typical media reporting: make this sound like the operator steered the   
   train onto the wrong track like a motorist would steer a car onto the   
   wrong side of a highway.   
      
   Sure, the operator had to perform an action to cross over, but it wasn't   
   like they manually had to throw the switches. Or is this done on the MTA?   
      
   Once on the other side, signals had to be clear to keep going, else the   
   train would be tripped if they passed a signal at red. Or is there somehting   
   else I am missing?
