Re: LIRR East Side Access
Posted by ALSTOM R160A* on Mon May 22 01:33:35 2006, in response to Re: LIRR East Side Access, posted by J trainloco on Mon May 22 01:20:47 2006.* edf40wrjww2msgDetail:detailStr fiogf49gjkf0d It was a matter of choice of the original railroad. The underruning third rail was designed specifically for the New York Central's operation into Grand Central and was originally called the Wilgus-Sprague system. The NYC felt that it would provide greater protection from accidental elctrocution and provide greater protection from snow/ice. The underrunning third rail never really caught on in North America although several European systems use it. LIRR uses a more popular overrunning third rail.
