metsfan Posted July 26, 2008 Share #1 Posted July 26, 2008 Last week when i was taking (NJT):nec: to newark, i noticed a bunch of the catenary towers having excavation around the base. Anyone know why this is happening? I'll try to get photos this coming tuesday. - Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo M 201 Posted July 26, 2008 Share #3 Posted July 26, 2008 Reinforcing possibly? That has to be it. I noticed a few cat towers that had a fresh base around it yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted July 26, 2008 Yea, the ones with the concrete mostly intact were untouched, but the ones with re-bar showing had the trenches. I'll see if i can get photos this tuesday. I wonder how long till we see the power supply system overhauled to allow higher train speeds. With the NJ portion of the NEC for the most part having new concrete ties you'd expect the catenary to be next. I want all trains to be able to run at max speed! - Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
