What's the deal with the wire train? I haven't seen it in the hole at Wayne Electric for awhile. I usually see it behind Roberts near/on the centennial track.

The last time I was at 30th street station, I saw 52 with the wire train (and one of the Arrow II's). I'll tell you one thing: that little diesel switcher was quite the sight coming through the upper deck!

I see it in Powelton yard after about 3:30

I'm guessing they have the second wire train now for the PRR side so these comments don't apply to the one at Wayne Electric.
I believe the RDG side wire train has been working on the West Trenton Line extensively for the installation of the 3rd track, but I've also seen a photo of it at West Trenton Station recently as well. Last Thursday I was at Woodbourne and caught the Wire Train led by 61 heading home at 1:43PM.
