The wire crew at the IL. Railway Museum, Union IL., are removing a limb from the demonstration line along the railway. The overhead line foreman, Max Tyms, is a professional lineman by trade, and volunteers his time at IRM along with the others. Max is using a long reach chain saw and has properly placed a safety guard on the D.C. trolley feeder wire to remove the errant limb from the high tension wires.
