Every year many trees grow a little longer, higher, and bushier. If the transit agencies don't cut them back, every fall more leaf related operational issues will develop. The trees were cut back on the Franklin Shuttle between Prospect Park and Botanic Garden when the line was rebuilt, today it's like going thru a forest. The trees along the Amtrak line thru NJ are cut back well away from the tracks both for falling leaf purposes and trees falling on top of the wires during windy conditions. While in Philly on a recent Sunday a few weeks ago, it was nice to see the Asplundah Company trimming trees along the 100 Norristown line, single track operation was in effect. |
