Weekly Update Posted by Joel Ahrendt in Electric Car Department at 23:04

Comments (0)

Just a quick update on things happening at the Electric Car Shop. In addition to all the normal work being done. (S105, the Michigan car, The PCC, L10). The NSL 160 needed to have a seat cushion repaired, which was done. With the Terror on the Railroad event going on, It was decided to service the batteries on NSL 714. It allowed the battery lights to come on if the pole was lost; also, the vent system would work as well. This is not the only work that's been done, but just some highlights of the work.

Respectfully Submitted,
Joel Ahrendt

so, will 992300 have the welded windows cut out? because after seeing a 1977 photo online, it had the windows there.
