View from the pit at Russell, photo by Alan Dunlop. Feature posted in the Star today. The CLRV is on 1 track. The view from that spot is very difficult to replicate now since the in ground hoists are in there now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a shame. Besides the occasional heater issue, 4069 not only worked great (according to some of the operators) but the interior and exterior was in good shape. If there was ever a need for a static display unit, that would be one of my choices. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View from the pit at Russell, photo by Alan Dunlop. Feature posted in the Star today. There is also a photo of a shedman sweeping a PCC. Edit: added that photo here to keep them together. Those are nice pictures. I’m wondering whether it was fast film, maybe push processed to get more speed out of it, or long exposures. I don’t think it was flash unless there was maybe a bit of fill flash because the front to back brightness is much too consistent for a single flash setup keeping in mind those were newspaper pictures, not an O. Winston Link composition after all. It’s interesting to think that 1976 is far enough back now that not only are those streetcars retired but the people working in those pictures would be enjoying retirement now too.

Otherwise the maintence worker would have motion blur. Def higher ISO film or push processing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed missing its front light, I saw it today. I think now it's also missing the side lights now too. It's at the very front of the deadline. edit: it still has the side lights intact.

I think now it's also missing the side lights now too. It's at the very front of the deadline. I think it's just its right side light but I didn't pay much attention unfortunately. Behind it is 4170, 4048, 4068 (I think?), 4178, 4104 and 4085, all on Track 19 Track 20 has 4042 and Track 21 has 4085 4053 at the front, both missing their front light. Both cars appear to be missing their left side light as well. 4001 and one of the PCCs is sitting inside on Track 7. Edit: Can't have two 4085's. Track 21 was 4053 (looked like it was 4058 tho). 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shedman sweeping the PCC later went to Greenwood Shops and worked on subway gearboxes, I was told he retired about five years ago or so! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then, the side lights are still there. This is why taking pictures of unpowered cars at night without a zoom can give misleading details. It seriously looked like a light was missing but it could have been the shadows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK78 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Does anyone know why they're removing the headlight or side lights? Plenty of others went to the scrap with all the lights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The headlight and left side track light is removed to remove an important component that’s just behind those lights 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought i saw ones dismantled on flatbeds with no trucks that still had the headlights. I guess I was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK78 Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 I'm guessing something with the TRUMP/GPS? I dont think they'd want those going to scrap, even though they're obsolete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
