Last Friday, Norm Krentel was generous enough to take a day off from work and drive to Cleveland and back (in one day) to pick up some essential parts for one of our cars. This was a lot of driving, and we can't thank him enough! I should have mentioned this before.
While CA&E 36 was in the RTA shops at Cleveland, all of the contactors were removed from the boxes, and three of them were sent by the Lake Shore Electric group to Redmond-Waltz, an electrical contracting firm, for analysis and quotes on rebuilding. However, Redmond-Waltz were never paid for their work and could no longer make contact with anybody. Fortunately, we were able to learn where the three missing contactors had gone and arrange for their return. Without them, we would be unable to complete the control system correctly.
In other news, the difficulties and delays we experienced in moving our cars to IRM were as nothing compared to what some of the other groups have encountered. Due to the weather, it was only today that the last two CA&E cars, 303 and 453, left Brook Park. The 303 is going to Warehouse Point, but has been embargoed at Scranton due to the snow, as I understand. The 453 is en route to Scranton, but may not make it. And the OX is still at Cleveland. Best wishes for a safe journey!
