The Luzerne Shop Superintendent is Dave Helfrich and the Rail Foremen are Steve Stitsworth and Joe Curley. They are anxious to help with any problems you have connected with the equipment. When you take a car out of Luzerne and store it, you must do so according to the following plan. You must follow this plan unless specifically authorized by the Shop Foreman, an Instructor, or Supervisor, to do otherwise. This should help you in your operation and provide greater reliability on Germantown Avenue's hills.
Air cars are essentially the same in operation as electric cars.
Windshield wipers, sanders, and doors are air operated, instead of electric. There is also an air operated shoe brake on the tread, instead of the electric shaft brake. The shoe brakes eliminate the need for a brake reset. These cars have an air gauge on the dash. Safe operation requires that you have at least 55 pounds of pressure before moving the car.
