A Signal Crew consisting of Signal Engineering and Training Supervisor and EIC, Paul1, Signal Maintainer, Jim1 and Senior Signal Worker, Bill1, went to work today with the idea in mind that they might finally get the Island Circuit associated with the old Safetran Grade Crossing Predictor working - based on research done and a hypothesis conjured up by Jim1 - at Sutterville Road today. It worked!! It appears that both the island and approach circuits are working (The island circuit has not worked independantly of the approach circuits since the crossing was placed back in service in 2001 or perhaps 2002.) and the GCP is picking up a Signal Maintainers Shunt correctly and consistently. Way to Go Jim1 and Way to Go Crew!!!! Thanks for a job Well Done!
