How can I tell if the subway/rapid transit system is equipped with automatic train control or not?

Not sure about other systems, but you can tell on Chicago's CTA by sitting near the cab and listening for the "beeeeeep!" *click* as warns the operator to slow down, and they respond with a throttle reduction. I'd imagine other installations are similar.
