One of the risks of running through the highway yard is every so often
one of the big trucks backs into a line pole of ours. During the past
snow storms one of our line poles was hit and the overhead wire was out
of adjustment. Dan McCaffery, Ed Amrhein and I went out to 27th street
and readjusted the wire back to its normal location. Some day we will
have to straighten the pole.
Buster Hughes and Chris McNally did a great job in grading and seeding
number 2 track after the track gang had replaced the bad ties.
