ETS LRT INSPECTORS
LRT has roving line inspectors who are available to deal with incidents that may
arise. The equipment used by them has varied over the years. When it was just
the NE LRT to University and Health Science's, there was one primary truck. With
the SLRT opening to South Campus, the fleet increased to 2 trucks with a van
used as a spare. With NLRT, the fleet grew to 3 vehicles, with a 4th vehicle
added probably as a spare. The 2012 vehicles saw a downsizing of sorts to basic
pick up trucks, but, later had boxes fitted, only to return to plain pick up
trucks a few years later.

SuperCrew- This pair of trucks has an interesting history which is probably
worth just having this blurb for. Both trucks arrived around the same time, with
the first spotting being in November 2012. They presented a change from previous
incarnations of the "60" and "61" line inspector trucks in that they didn't have
any storage space. Previously they used L2410 which had an entirely custom box,
while other trucks had been pick up trucks with slide in service boxes. These
two trucks were just plain pick up trucks with tonneau covers. Not like after
entering service, in April 2013 R2880 crash into a pole in the main Stadium park
and ride lot. It was repaired and back in service in late May 2013. By June 2014
they were in the new "sweep" livery. Around September V2395 was spotted as a LRT
Inspector truck, this time back to having a service box in the back of the
truck. By February R2880 and R2881 had service boxes as well, and W2001 joined
the fleet with a service box. It seemed that after an attempt just using a
regular pickup truck, they were back to using service boxes. W2001 arrived in
2015, but then in 2019 the new equipment that was purchased was back to being
being like R2880 and R2881. Plain pick up trucks. With these new trucks, R2880
and R2881 moved on to work for track maintenance, along with V2395 while W2001
back up the new trucks. |
