Rockhill Trolley Maintenance Department is having another work session this coming Saturday, August 24. Your help is needed with the following projects:
- Continue work on the voltage regulator and low voltage system on former NJ Transit PCC Car #10 (if all goes well, the car may run under its own power since the car was retired August 24, 2001).
- Finish repacking the remaining bearings on the overhauled Brill 77E trucks from Johnstown Traction Company #311
Last Saturday, August 17, was a very busy and productive day. Much work was accomplished then and during this past week, including:
- Repairs to the inbound brake valve on STCP #172, returning the car to service
- Continued progress on the voltage regulator repairs to NJT PCC Car #10
- Continued progress on repacking the journal bearings in the JTC #311 trucks
- Controller maintenance (heavy duty) on STCP #249
- Brake valve lubrication on CTC #1875
- Electrical investigation of IT Sweeper #3
Work on NJT #10 continued into the night last Saturday.
My thanks to the volunteers and donors who make all this possible!
