PEEing on catenary
Author: Mike Stimpson

My dad, my brother, and I were at the top of Pipestone Pass, waiting for a Milwaukee train. I think it was powered by boxcabs, maybe a Little Joe, but definitely electric. We were standing on top of the summit tunnel, and my brother asked what would happen if he peed on the catenary. My dad talked him out of it, so we didn't find out.

I've seen a Steinheimer photo of the inside of a Milwaukee substation. It shows a sign that says, "Those who know electricity best, respect it." There is sound wisdom in that...
