Re: If You Touch the Contact Shoe Not Connected to a Live 3rd Rail, Will You Get a Shlock?

"would you say that all 4 contact shoes are tied together?"

I say no. On older model cars, when one truck shoe would gap, the interior lights would go out. If they were "tied together" the lights would stay on. I noticed this particularly on the R1-9s
