Shielding 750 volt 3rd rail ?
In article ,
(Dave) wrote: From 1916 until around 1990, the Manchester Victoria-Bury service used trains operating off a 1200V DC protected third rail - with a side-contact. This system was replaced by overhead wires when the route was converted for use as part of the Metrolink system. FSVO "protected"! There wasn't much protection left when I travelled on the line shortly before its closure for conversion to trams. -- Colin Rosenstiel |
