[PRCo] Re: 1019

[Dennis F. Cramer]

Yes, PTM has overhead contactors in 2 places.  The one that is in service is 
the approach to the yard from the original PRCo right of way.  The 
difference is we coast to diverge and draw power to go straight into the 
yard.  The reason being we diverge to head to the Arden Valley more than we 
go into the yard and it makes things much easier on the equipment and 
operators.

The other location is the spur track at Arden loop.  That contactor is 
currently out of service, but when we did use it, was power to diverge and 
coast to go straight.

It does not matter whether the diverge is to the left or right.  Diverge is 
diverge.

Look for the yellow tie before Museum Road.  That tells the operator his 
pole is approaching the contactor (which is behind his position at the other 
end of the car).
