Posted by mambomta on Wed Oct 4 18:00:17 2006, in response to Re: MANY SEPTA PHOTOS from last Tuesday, posted by Market-Frankford on Wed Oct 4 17:32:57 2006. By wood, I meant the crossties.They now make plastic ties which, IIRC, NYCT is now testing. Also, the walkways and third rail covers are plastic or being replaced with plastic. I don't think she meant one like the pics you linked to because there are no els in Chicago like that. The els I linked to are the same as the top 2 pictures you posted except there are only 2 tracks on a 3-track wide el. Chicago & New York Els are very similar. The biggest differences are the covered third rails, & worker walkways(including the guardrails) Note how no workers or debris can fall through to the street. Workers can still fall from the walkways if they are not careful, just like in NYC. Also, on NYC els, there are little baskets between many of the ties to catch debris. |
