Sunday, July 22. 2012Signal Maintenance - July 21, 2012I guess I do not have permission to use the category for the signal department. BUT - member/volunteer Frank Carraro has joined the work in that department and generously shares these pics and a short report.  Frank Carraro Photo Bob Olson and Mike Alterio are replacing a failed LED light unit on
the westbound signal at Johnson siding last Saturday. LED units are being
installed because of the high price of the special lamp bulbs used in signals
and the considerable labor in replacing them every year. We are having
trouble with lightning causing the LED's to fail, but we may have the fix for
that now.  Frank Carraro Photo Here we see Bob adjusting and lubricating the eastbound signal at Karstens These antique mechanisms need careful maintenance. This one was acting up. Thanks for the report, Frank. Just goes to show the extent of trying to keep our railroad running, and the many other volunteers working, in many cases invisibly. |
