Changing of the pole         
Time honored, and admittedly extra work, changing trolley poles to reverse direction. Although you can back-pole, you run the risk of snagging the pole and causing lots of damage. Cheap insurance is to change the pole whenever you reverse, although it leads to lots of pole changes during switch moves.
