Electrification trespass danger slide summitted by RIOL
UPDATE!!! SLIDE ACCEPTED by the OL PDC!
5. We have two newly approved slides for Presenters to use regarding electrification and third rail issues, which at this point occur mostly in the Northeast.

TO: Region 1 Coordinators / RIOL Team
This is a redirect to update you on Progress of RIOL's request for an electrification presentation slide.
We have been making a case for this slide as part of a critical trespass danger for over five years now.
This is a very important trespass aspect for us, and with every city, town, and state along an electrified line.
I submitted sample photographs I have taken of engine panagraph and overhead catenary power structures, as well as some sample scripts. The photograph shown here is one I took at Kingston Rhode Island. I inserted the warning sign with photoshop and cropped the entire image to focus on the panagraph and catenary wire.
Other OL contributors mentioned below have since contributed specifically to improving on the scripts and also the third rail images.
Some of you may recall that our new president promised, at our most recent Vermont Regional 2007 SC luncheon, to follow up on this for us.
Andy Davis of the PDC contacted me directly after the PDC met and immediately began working on this with us.
I have also received continued support from Charlie Anlonge, Patrick Corcoran, Rich Neff, Nancy Hudson, Terry Ludban, Alvin Richardson, Vivian Speight-Bridges, and others.
Your support as Region 1 state leaders is appreciated as we move forward, and I hope using this slide soon!
I suspect many of us will find this slide one of our top choices in most presentations on railroad right of way trespass dangers, especially in Region 1!
We are hoping to have this slide available for use in this coming year [2008].
Sincerely,
Jack McCabe
