R44 5278 Posted October 27, 2009 Share #26 Posted October 27, 2009 No matter what started the fire, once there is flame the wood will catch on fire. Woods being present only added to it, it did not cause it. When 3rd Rail Ops. replaced the 3rd rail insulators, they use a very large Oak pry bar to raise the 3rd rail up so they can change out the insulators. When they to that, it does not catch fire, that bar is like a very large shoe paddle. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metsfan Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share #28 Posted October 27, 2009 The NTT i saw didn't have individual brackets, but a retainer strip, and a shelf the bottoms rested on, all most like in that photo, but wider, and one big bracket. They were spaced out a bit more too. Thanks for all the info. Anyone have any photos of these in action? - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyracer90 Posted October 27, 2009 Share #29 Posted October 27, 2009 I always wondered what those things were for. I remember railfanning the out on the Brighton a few years ago when it ran R40s one of those things flew out the C/R's window from train going in the opposite direction and smacked the train head on barely missing the RFW. Both trains had to be doing about 35-40 mph. That impact sure had my heart racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
