Friday, I installed the connector to 84 track trolley frog and removed some old span wire in yard 8.
A rainy Saturday: BOD meeting, Cleaned up my area in the B&G building.
Sunday brought better weather. Two poles were pulled and one installed. One pole was removed on the North side of the connector track now that new spans were installed on the new pole and trolley wire transferred to them. At the Central Ave. crossing at yards 6,7,8, one old pole was pulled on the Northeast corner and a new 30 ft class 4 pole was set on the Southeast corner. The new pole is replacing an old rotten one and will help support the crossing.

According to the schedule posted yes. This can all change at any time due to mechanical failure without notice.

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