3689 |
September 6, 2003 |
ETS #3689 is about to enter the right of way south of Belvedere Station.
This is appears to be a flatbed truck equipped with a skid with a water tank
on it. This was in the area shortly before the rail grinder started working.
This unit may have been ready to extinguish any fires that could start from
the sparks from the grinding, however it wasn't anywhere near when the
grinding was taking place. |

3863 |
April 26, 2003 |
ETS #3863 is a Simon's aerial lift attached to ETS #3855 with a tower
equipped with a pantograph attached at the other end making an effective line
test car. Why is this unit on this page? It has regular wheels, but seems to
spend most of its time on #3855 so it is used on either its wheels, or else
sitting on a car running on rails. |

7692 |
2002 |
ETS #7692 is probably a mid 70's line truck built on an International chassis. I believe that this line truck is the same one Edmonton Power originally outfitted with railway wheels to help erect the overhead when the LRT system was being built, and has since been purchased by Edmonton Transit and painted into the ET paint scheme. In this photo, 7692 is helping fix the overhead line after a line pole had to be
replaced as the tamper #3857 derailed at this location and damaged the line pole. Helping with this is EPCOR #B3600 I think, also
equipped with railway wheels. |
