Inspection Time!


The inspection season is now in progress, and every electric car needs to undergo a thorough inspection prior to revenue service. I strongly suggest that everyone involved in electric car operations - all motormen and conductors - should spend at least one day a year helping on inspections. Due to recent acquisitions, we now have more operational cars than ever before. And if you want to operate or ride them, we need help. And not only could we use the help, but inspection is the most effective way for crewmen to be familiar with all the mechanical parts of the car, and what most often goes wrong. Classroom-type training is good, but it is not an effective substitute for hands-on experience. You'll be glad you helped!
