OCTOBER 2007 Page 3 History Of The Vienna N1 Class Cars—Part 2 - Chuck Bencik Editors Note: This is a continuation of Chuck’s article from the July newsletter. Part 1 can also be found on our web- site at www.sdera.org. Equipment on most of the N1s was standardized in 1966. Cars 2879 and 2880 re- ceived permanent roof resistors, for low speed operation and snow plowing – the roof being the only place where they could be installed. A third N1, No. 2878, was modified for operation with two herbicide tank cars with a chemical agitator. Car 2880 received the ELIN 10-pole receptacle with a pre-resistor. This receptacle allowed electrical control of the special track maintenance cars. The City Railway modernized its usable hopper cars with the ELIN receptacle. In 1977, car No. 2880 was desig- nated an “NH” or service car, and became the first of sixteen N1 cars reassigned the NH number. On October 30, 1981, San Diego's three N1 cars were redesig- nated NH 6888, NH 6890, and NH 6891. One of them, NH 6891, has the ELIN receptacle, a feature not found on all the NH service cars. Some cars, like NH 6888, were painted yel- The ELIN Connector low, the remainder stayed red. The red cars with a fast-acting brake valve, for service with trailer cars, rendered those cars not suitable for pas- senger service.

  • The Bridges of San Diego County: the Art of Civil Engineering
    The Bridges of San Diego County: The Art of Civil Engineering Christine Robbins Every bridge represents a problem solved, a challenge overcome, a connection made. San Diego, with its abundance of hills, mesas, and canyons, showcases the art of bridge building. Civil engineers took on the task and were lauded for their work in this poem: They have built magnificent bridges where the nation’s highways go; O’er perilous mountain ridges and where great rivers flow. Wherever a link was needed between the new and the known They have left their marks of Progress, in iron and steel and stone. There was never a land too distant nor ever a way too wide, But some man’s mind, insistent, reached out to the other side. They cleared the way, these heroes, for the march of future years. The march of Civilization—and they were its Pioneers. —Portion of “The Bridge Builders,” a poem by Evelyn Simms The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) considers bridges an important aspect of civil engineering. According to the organization’s policy statement; “Bridges are a visible icon of the Civil Engineer’s art. Historic bridges are important links to our past, serve as safe and vital transportation routes in the Author Christine Robbins acknowledges contributions by Civil Engineers Tim Shell, PE, of the City of Vista and Wade Durant, PE, Pete Smith, PE, ENV SP, and Clark Fernon, PE, of T.Y. Lin International. The author wishes to acknowledge all those who generously shared their recollections of working on some of the bridges discussed in the article.
