This page will document an assortment of assorted equipment that just doesn't
fit in anywhere else. Some of these are to be expected to be document, like 3870
or 3871. Others like 3400 (a air compressor!) might be a little bit out there,
however, it fits into the LRT numbering scheme.

3400 CompAir 125- Yes,
it's an air compressor. But, it has a fleet number, ETS decals, and fits into
the ETS numbering scheme. So here it is. |

3402-3403 Geismar Tie Inserter,
3404-3406 Geismar Hydraulic Power Packs- I can't seem to find any information on this
device in Geismar's website. It's job is to help remove old ties and insert new
ones. It seems like a semi-automatic device, in that it has to be manually moved
(not self-propelled), and from what little I've watched of it's operation, it
needs a few crew members to operate. This is unlike some "full size" automated tie
removal and insertation devices that only require one operator. I'm sure this
however beats manually replacing ties, which I've seen crews do before. Along
with these tie inserters are hydraulic power packs which power them. The
hydraulic power packs are also used elsewhere as needed. |

3863 1987 Simon Aerials Lift
This piece of equipment often made up a catenary maintenance set up on
3855. Believed to be retired now, it's use in this roll has been superseded by
#2011. |
|
3863 |
April 26, 2003 |
ETS #3863 is a Simon's aerial lift attached to ETS #3855 with a
tower equipped with a pantograph attached at the other end making an effective
line test car. Why is this unit on this page? It has regular wheels, but seems
to spend most of its time on #3855 so it is used on either its wheels, or else
sitting on a car running on rails. |
3870 Hudson ROI Equipment Hi-Rail
Dump Trailer-
A rarely seen piece of equipment, as fortunately, it hasn't
been needed much! One of two piece of LRT equipment in full blue and silver
livery. This unit is equipped with hi-rail wheels. This unit has since been
mounted to #3850, and the frame fitted with a dump box. |

ETS #3870 in the Yellowhead Yard. I was
surprised to see this show up, as the body had been mounted onto 3850. Seems the
resourceful LRT crews took the hi-rail chassis and fitted it with a dump box. |
3871 CAT Diesel Generator and Light Tower-
This piece of equipment has been used to help with unloading LRV's, as
well as seeing use on projects that run overnight. |

3872 Doosan LSC Light Tower-
This seems like a pretty basic light tower, but, it has a fleet number
so here it is. |

ETS #3872 at the worksite for the
installation of a flange-bearing frog in the 57 Ave crossovers. |
3874 Oxford Industrial Products
Hydraulic Ramps- Fitted to 2101, these appear to be hydraulic
ramps that would be used to create a ramp to access a station platform. |

7205 Vacuum Trailer
While I've rarely seen this piece of equipment out, I believe it has been used
for tunnel washing mounted on 3855. To an extent, this piece of equipment has
been replaced by a hi-rail vacuum/ hydro excavator truck. I think I can see this
unit in another image when it was in the City of Edmonton blue paint. While it's not in the
full on blue/ silver livery, it's close enough and that makes it a rarity in the
LRT fleet. I suspect that the fleet number is an original City of Edmonton fleet
number. |

Unknown Genie Z-30/20N Lift-
Found this lift one day. Not sure of the fleet number. I figure it's most
likely within LRT's numbering. |
