Passing the OTHER ugly solar panel and battery box for the new flange greaser on the north end of Iona Island. At least (unlike the installation at the south end of the island) they left themselves some room for high & wide loads in this installation, and there might even be enough room on this end for second main re-installation without moving the greaser equipment. Conrail sort of "centered" the one remaining track during their ownership, so on Iona the existing track would have to move to the left if they restored the second main, assuming the second main bridge would be inside the existing in-service bridge (as is the old wood piling bridge that remains on the north end of the island, behind the train in this shot).
