| Catenary Maintenance Vehicle MTW-100 | |
 |
This vehicle replaced the old line car and is used for stringing and repairing catenary along the line. The vehicle can travel along the tracks under it's own power. It has a pantograph for testing the wire. The work platform provides a safe place to repair the catenary. The arm on the far end of the car has two pulleys to lift the wire being installed to the appropriate height as the vehicle moves along. The rig is also capable of digging holes for catenary support poles. |

The platform is turned to aid in installing a support arm. |
The boom lifts the wire to the right height for installation. |
