When the photo is viewed in the enlarged mode the car operator is clearly visible. He is Angelo Nazzo. He later became an instructor at SHJct and worked well into the PATransit era. He was my instructor at SHJct. A very excellent instructor, I might add.

The contraption on the left contains pushbuttons to activate the turnout 
and interlocking in case the switch is *Missed.*
.
Note the dual overhead contactors for operating the turnout -- the 
very first one is right at the tunnel edge and the operator does what is 
necessary to set the switch for the desired direction but nothing 
happens to the turnout until the trolleypole hits the second 
contactor. The turnout will set according to what transpired at the 
first contactor and Regardless of what the operator did passing through 
the second contactor.
