I run on that new Tesla system as well

Half an extension at least to above this roofline

I use a stainless wire with a hoop to fit in the half moon and catch the bases lip when slid over to the tab, leaned forward, and the pant. is lowered to a tiny hook bent into the wire end. Gravity mostly keeps it hooked when depressed accidentally. 

   The DT&I was bought by Henry Ford and electrification began. He also invested heavily in The Virginian in hopes of bypassing the Saint Lawrence Seaway and keeping more shipments an in house affair. The bridge over the Ohio was never secured or we might have seen him and Edison electrifying everything from Virginia Beach to Detroit too.

  They ran some average big box cabs of the era too, I forget what at the moment. We still have some really cool art deco cement catenary arches around town, and some dreamers in the 80s wanted the scrap bound GG-1s to use here as a re-introduction;  but no electrics ran here for many decades.

.....except for maybe the tow locos of the Detroit River's tunnel to Canada.
