Metro's "stray current" problem has not gone away
A KTRH-740 newsbreak just reported a story with which blogHOUSTON readers are familiar, thanks to the determination of Tom Bazan -- "stray current" associated with Metro's light rail.
The KTRH story said that TxDOT engineers are concerned about and examining steel support beams that could be corroded by stray current caused by what appears to be a flawed MetroRail design. The KTRH report also referenced new documents that it has obtained that show at least six locations still experiencing potential problems with the stray electrical current. Tom Bazan obtained the documents (through many, many, many...MANY open records requests) and has concerns with what is happening underneath the Texas Medical Center and underneath the Pierce Elevated.
Many thanks go out to Tom Bazan for all his hard work getting this information out to the public. God knows Metro would never willingly share it!
