The DECO guys are still cleaning up the mess from that failed transformer. The happy new transformer itself is in, but they've spent the week laying a new cable from one end of the station to the other. It's quite a production-- a swarm of DECO guys, all of whom have company vehicles that dwarf our own (sizeable) trucks, plus an assortment of heavy machinery and a huge, noisy thing to clean out the manholes.
Oh, and the circuit breakers...
They've been opening for three straight days, with muffled explosions that sound remarkably like the blast that started this whole mess. These are planned explosions, of course, not the sort that cause alarms and emergency dispatching, so they're exciting in a good way.
Today's breakers aren't DECO's, though. The very loud blasts today come from our own Delle that Gerry and the guys are testing. It's a little reminscent of the Civil War battle re-enactments I could coming from Ardenwood during California summers.
I love it down here.
