We are at City Hall, Fitchburg, Massachusetts, to celebrate my 3rd anniversary....which YouTube stated has happened already, but wasn't until 3/26. Oh, well. Today's a good day for it!
We ride an elevator I wanted to get on the TX-10, so this was the occasion to do it, the B&A Traction Elevator in City Hall. It's old, has slight bumps, is beat up, but is epic in it's own way, for such a special occasion.
As we all know, Massachusetts Inspection card are NEVER wrong, which means the 2,000lb capacity, now stated at 1,200lb, is more believable for it's size. I can't imagine how you can put a 2,000lb load on this thing.
We get a good look at mostly everything, and did capture some hit-and-miss pre-door action. Heading back to 1 seems to do it best.
