Re: Amtrak orders 75 new Siemens Charger locomotives for LD trains

Posted by Broadway Lion on Mon Jun 10 05:34:22 2019, in response to Re: Amtrak orders 75 new Siemens Charger locomotives for LD trains, posted by Joe V on Mon Jun 10 04:22:06 2019.

There are 600' gaps in the third rail at NYP. A lead locomotive could coast over those gaps, since the engineer can see where they are. AMTK does this.

But when yoou locomotive is at the rear of the train how does the engineer know where the gaps are?

I do not know what sort of gaps live in Brooklyn, the biggest issues are crossing over stacked double slip switches, which may or may not be an issue in Brooklyn.

As you can see, gaps on railroad of LION are negligible.
