A couple of days earlier, NJT dumped off this wire train. Today (1/8/2008), NJT 4206 couples on and makes the air in preparation to check clearances on both tracks. |

NJT Morrisville S&I - photo 45 of 50 |
| Description: |
As 4206 crept in, it didn't take long to find an interference. Unlike the removable U-shaped guard rails on the upper platform, the yellow painted ones are just the basic steel in concrete varieties. The white hat is standing at roughly ground level and you can see the gently sloped ramps up and down to the inspection areas. The "red pipes" hanging from the ceiling are the sanders. |

| Description: |
NJT 4206 has the honor of leading the first train into the new shop. The wire train now has all its inspection personnel aboard, moved over to Track 2 (the west end) and is about to enter the building. It is worth noting again the catenary circuits for both Track 1 and Track 2 are divided into sections: the circuits outside the S&I facility are controlled elsewhere (at some master desk, I presume). The main (inside) catenary and the two buffer catenaries (one at each end of the building through the train doors) are controlled by the operators in the S&I facility. The buffer catenaries are interlocked such that the each buffer can be energized only when its respective train doors are fully opened - and - the train doors cannot be closed once the buffer is energized. In this photo, you can spot the breaks in the catenaries on both tracks - the sections heading into the building are the buffers. |
