The Willis Avenue Bridge entered Manhattan at First Avenue. It seems that the cars went south to 125th Street, turned west and immediately someone pulled down the rear pole and somebody else in the pit installed a fresh plough that had been taken off a northbound car.--- I never envied the job the guys had in the plough pit. When I do not understand is whether they turned off the juice in the conduit rail while they installed the plough. Somehow, the car needed power to continue west, and the pole was already down. --- Please note that the W-Willis cars did not use Third Avenue south of 149th Street. They used Willis Avenue, still a wide avenue now as before. |
