The morning started with Ed Amrhein and I removing a large tree branch
from the North Avenue Loop overhead trolley wire.
Chris McNally and Ed cleaned up a small mudslide between the
Visitor's Center and the Car House.
The Visitor's Center Soda machine was replaced with the spare on
stored at the 22nd street shops. The crew of movers and cleaners was Ed Amrhein,
Rick Obbink, Chris McNally and Chris Howell.
En Amrhein, Chris Howell and I replaced a leaking air damper motor on the
PCC. The damper motors are used to route the cooling air for the resistor
grid. As the air flows over the hot resistor girds it is sent either into
the car during winter to heat the car or outside during the summer to avoid
overheating the car.
Ed Amrhein, Chris Howell and I then put the front end of 6119 on the pit
and adjusted the brake rigging.
