[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by John Busby</i> <br /><br />Hi captain C <br />No third rail power suply for traction. its used a lot on subways <br />and some serface lines. <br />Very quick and easy to pick the out side rail is higher sits on insulators. <br />if in a station area has a wooden duct type arangement around it to stop accidental contact with the side of the rail and will possably have a warning sign about it. and it does have 1500 VDC when live. <br />Modeling it is just as insane as dual gauge I know i have some dual gauge trackage. <br />where was the picture taken ?? <br />regards John <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I believe that is somewhere in the Mid-Atlantic (east Coast) of the United States, like Pennsylvania. I posted more pics of that railroad under the other thread on abandoned suprs. <br /> <br />In this case, the rail is for dual use. The switches (points) are the most complicated piece of mess I have ever seen.
