[quote user="kgbw49"] Here is an off the wall question. Can the Stadler DMUs operate under light rail caternary? Or would they be too close  for arcing. <div style="clear:both;"> </div> [/quote] The questions are what is the voltage and what is the safety distance. Here are some dimensions from on of my posts in a different thread: It depends on Voltage. Germany: 15 kV 16.666 Hz; standard height contact wire 18'-0.5'', minimum 16'-3''; height bi-level cars 15'-2.4''. Standard safety distance is about 3', minimum about 1' United Kingdom: 25 kV 50 Hz; Standard safety distance 2'-4'', minimum 1'-3'' The EMU/DMU are well earthed. DMUs run under catenary in Germany every day: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT1qCzB01Ac">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT1qCzB01Ac</a> It is not generally a problem. It just depends on above mentioned parameters. Regards, Volker
