Geeze ... I don't know if I'd want that job. On the other hand it may be safer then some of the other jobs options around there. Did anyone catch that switch? A single rail point - I've never seen that modeled.
In 1995 I visited the last trolley line in Changchun in Manchuria; the equipment was the gleanings from a much larger network and not well maintained. I have a slide (but no functional scanner) of a failed car being brought back to the barn empty, with two women at the controls and a guy sitting on the roof holding the trolley pole up against the wire. No sparks, no odor of barbecue, but I still wouldn't like the job...
