Major Los Angeles Times article by Hugo Martin, describing third shift maintenance. Available in other sheets. Those of us involved in train and facility maintenance at our favorite railroad museums may find it interesting.

The writer apparently didn't visit the steam train and monorail maintenance building. Recommend bringing along binoculars; The shop doors are usually open.

Trackwalking not mentioned; inspection, maintenance and cleaning.


I remember visiting with cast members waiting for their places in parades, and "Bobbies" watching, and listening. Their other ear carried the company radio channel.
