Also, LI is more subject to hurricane force winds than the NE Corridor.FWIW, Japan is subject to typhoons, and they've built their entire urban and rural railway around catenary. The same weather concern and use of catenary is also true for Hong Kong and Mainland China. The Germans are looking to dual voltage systems with catenary for their third rail S-Bahns in Hamburg and Berlin, the French ripped up their third rail, and the English aren't even bothering. Third rail has been relegated to urban systems in West, and increasingly even catenary is seen as a viable option for more and more metro systems. For example, the newest systems in Latin America in Panama and Santo Domingo use 1500 vdc catenary, and the latter is subject the hurricane risk. |
