Re: Momentary Switch Off

Mandate not an option. The sign for fans was denoting either on or off. if the 600 volt fan switch was left on then the momentaries turned them on so the terminal boards mandated how the car switches were to be switched during putins or conductor train checks. When I worked Rock Park or Concourse Yd I also hooked open the storm doors in Summer except during rain for comfort and for my convenience checking the cabs and door operation during put in walkarounds. On the R27s the illuminated side signs were sometimes problematic, the heat was GREAT but reliable indication was shit. I remember the GE R30s had 1 switch of heat new thermostats during overhaul controlling both fans and heat, toasty cars in Winter and not exceptionally hot in Summer. The heat switch setup should have been the same from R15s and up with only one breaker and fuse for the entire car with the lighting setup based on 600 fuse for each SIDE of car. I cant say my school car gave me a point value on heat as the R10s were going. perhaps they did and I don't remember it
