Of course this sounds preposterous. A crane to change a bulb? How about a lift? Or a very tall ladder? I still don’t know why scaffolding wouldn’t work. Boondoogle indeed.
But, all this cutting of the roof and doorways... wouldn’t it simply be easier to dis-assemble a crane and re-assemble it inside the station, than to drop one in through the roof and then cut through a doorway?
I work at a building which has a 28 ft warehouse. We use a forklift to change the bulbs. How high is this ceiling?
This makes so little sense, if it was privately owned you’d bet the owner would figure out a way to change the bulbs for 1/100th the cost or less.
Yes exactly. Rail it in was another one of my thoughts. This sounds just plain stupid. This is an example why government should not be involved in these things. All these cash-strapped governments should sell off these assets.
What about using this?
Lol, this all sounds like a Texas Aggie joke - how many Aggies does it take to change a light bulb??
I hope they used long-life bulbs.

New Jersey is not a destination
Mad Magazine cover story of yore:
“I got lost in Patterson New Jersey!”
Sam Colt’s first maufacturing venture with local NJ bankers backing him started in Patterson, NJ
After they ripped Sam off he tried Whitney in Whitneyville, CT
A year of that mess and Sam set up his own plant in Hartford, CT
That sounds like a job Americans don't want.
Sounds like too many ‘cooks in the kitchen’ in New Jersey to get things done right judging from other comments in the article.
Interesting about Colt, you would know all about that!

Sounds like those architects and engineers could have worked on designing the WTC floor trusses in NYC
Light, cheap, weak under heat, max profits, each fastened by a total only 3 small Grade 8 bolts
- 1 small bolt at one end
- 2 small bolts at the other end
—
Each wheel on your family vehicle is attached by five Grade 8 or stronger bolts
