It seems to me the only time the hatch would be up would be to go through the doorway no?That is right. The hatch will go up and down at least 20 times a day. The right front track is currently a drill track heavy used for switching. It can not stay in place due to the location of the hinges and becomes the main track running over the new hatch. All switching at the east end will go for 10 - 15" over the new hatch. That requires an easy to operate design of the hatch.
