DJ, Thanks for posting.
At 1:53 check out those old street car type power poles to the right.

That thing came down CPW a couple weeks ago with enough head end lighting to give me sunburn. Was a cool sighting, but the effect was to take the track OOS for several tens of minutes.
We watched several A, B and Cs come down the express track.

Those poles are one of the few remnants of when the line was powered by trolley wire.

Hey DJH: Was that your reflection in the window at Park Place around the 2:30 mark ?

Ok...did they, like, get the horn off of an old Honda or something?

Sounds like it. In fact, I think all of the TGCs had car horns.

I don’t recall anything in the history of that line that indicated it was ever powered by trolley wire.
