[PRCo] Re: "Derail" at Mt. Washington Tunnel

[Jim Holland]

There was also a Derail at Palm Garden on the southbound storage track 
which led to the 42-main  --  RR type switch  --  need to activate by 
using wayside pushbutton  --  reset for derail after trolley passes 
using overhead contactor.     Track on a downslope here and this was to 
prevent a car that broke loose from fouling the main line.     Cars for 
38, 39, 42, 43 pulled out this way for AM rush hour.
