That was the problem in Abilene this particular cap tested bad at some point but not taken out of service for some reason. When the service man went to close his seasonal banks he did not know this one was bad. So now we test before we close, we close them from the ground if possible and we don't do it without a qualified observer. Sure make you respect them.
