Posted by Michael Wares on Fri Feb 12 22:51:43 2010, in response to Re: Future MNR New Haven Line Service to Penn Station, posted by ebtmikado on Fri Feb 12 20:20:22 2010. From the April 24, 1966 Pennsylvania Railroad employe's timetable, p. 357: "New Haven R.R. Enginemen of electric engines are responsible for knowing that changeover switch is in AC position, DC pantograph locked down and third rail contact shoes in raised position clear of third rail and protection board."Penn Central employe's timetable, April 27, 1969, p. 382: "On the Hell Gate Line on westbound trains hauled by a.c.-d.c electric engines or EDER-5 [FL9] engines, enginemen must know that third rail contact shoes are up before passing rake-off blocks located east of Woodside Avenue Bridge, Long Island City. On EDER-5 engines scheduled for third rail operation, enginemen must lower third rail shoes after engine has cleared the shoe rake-off blocks east of Woodside Avenue and must ascertain that all shoes are in the proper position before reaching the Phase Break." The PRR/PC/Amtrak employee who gave me the timetables told me that the FL9s arced badly on the LIRR third rail. |
