After his retirement, Angelo was a patient in my hearing aid office.  A
super guy!

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.
