Even more fun with backpoling a subway car on the mainline through overhead frogs. Have rope, will pull and catch the right wire every time! :) |

As I recall, some of the seats were facing one way and some were facing the other way. Hardly worth the trouble to flip them to make them all consistent. The car runs whenever someone shows up for a ride, so there aren't very many passengers at any one time. :-) |

The operator told me they had to do a lot of cosmetic restoration, including new seat coverings, because the car had been sitting idle outdoors for a long time. But the mechanical and electrical stuff is pretty much original. It's not like it gets very much wear and tear now! |

Actually no, didn't forget. Both you and I were there at the time if you recall. I was at the storm door, you dropped power, I pulled the rope and slipped the carbon to the other wire. We did it twice headed back to the platform. Remember now? :)600 volts ... in the rain ... with a rope. Feh. Heh. |
