The negative underground feed cable for the 59 is old, 1920's or so,installed when the 59 trolley went to Lott St., and it's oxidized and corroded. If they have to replace the entire cable ,that will be a massive job. It's also possible that the positive feed cable "could" also be suspect as well as the conduit that both are in , could be bad.There was a lot of talk on Facebook as to they should have figured this was eventually going tom go bad, but that's hindsight now. This is a big problem and may require long time to fix, shutting the trackless line power down, and finding buses to run the line. |
