A circuit breaker designed to prevent fires like the one last month on a heavily traveled railroad bridge was improperly installed, Amtrak officials said.http://1010wins.com/topstories/local_st ... 45350.html
Overhead power lines came down May 12, sending more than 12,000 volts of electricity into the wooden bridge for more than 12 seconds, starting a fire. Although the bridge was not structurally damaged, signals telling trains if it was safe to go forward were damaged.

Do axle ground carbon brushes ring a bell???Are you referring to NJT's past practice of reusing old bearings in new wheelsets? Well, they've still got lots of carmen checking these bearings at the end of the day. I guess transit doesn't mind paying out lots of overtime for their shortsightedness. Or when the feds catch them cutting corners.
