I take personal issue with your statement herein. DOOM has already had its way on the PE.
That photo was a FOUR track Mainline. Most of that wire has been clipped off with only the CENTER two tracks in operation. Even the wire over the 4th track closest to the Tower suddenly ends.
What say thou to THAT ???
