I believe the Southern Railway (this side of the Atlantic) built a series of three 3rd-rail electric locos with large flywheels (numbered CC1-CC3, later Class 70) fitted in order to deal with breaks in the conductor rail. There was also some overhead wiring fitted in yards to avoid the risk to crews of 3rd rail - tram-type overhead was used to keep costs down as at yard speeds it functioned perfectly well, and the later Class 71 was also fitted to work from this overhead along with 3rd rail. <br /> <br />Link to Class 70 page : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_70 <br /> <br />Link to Class 71 page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_71
