1 anecdote(s)

A few years ago, I had a visit from a former employee who had worked in the electromechanical room in Luttre, a space located on the street side, across from the railroad tracks. He told me that once, he had a problem with the switches that occurred intermittently and that he couldn’t figure out what was causing it. After several days or weeks, he realized that the problem occurred every time a freight train passed on the tracks.
