CMBC - New Flyer E40LFR


2191 dewired at UBC loop with its trolley shoes tangled with the ones of an unknown E40LFR. What happened: 2156 (the right-most bus in the photo) powered at the last PO/PO switch to the #9 terminus at UBC loop, but its poles came down while traversing the trailing switch from the #4 terminus. 2191, an outgoing #17 coasted through the PO/PO switch, but since the switch was still set to the side track, 2191's poles was switched to the side track. 2191's poles passed 2156 which was dewired, but hit the first #9 at the stop and thus dewired, and the right trolley shoe on #2191 got caught on the retriever cable.
