Actually I learned about car overhang the *HARD* way at Branford a few years back. I was in an operator training class and they had me moving 629 into the barn. There was a bobcat being used to shovel snow, and it had been parked near the tracks. I thought it was far enough from the rails for 629 to clear it, but as I crept into the curve to enter the barn, the rear of the car ran right up against the bobcat!Thank God there was no damage to either trolley or bobcat, but I never forgot the principle of car overhang after that. I haven't been back to Branford since then..I keep thinking they'll hit *ME* with a trolley car! |
