It's a bad idea to run a jumper with 600 volts between two cars that can be uncoupled. It's potentially dangerous to any crew that were to separate cars without checking the jumper for power.However, once upon a time the New Haven, Great Northern, Reading, and Virginian all had locomotives and EMUs which could share 11kv 25hz power across a jumper. Apparantly those kind of things are now outlawed by the FRA. |
