And in the case of Paris catenary troubles under snowy weather were due to the newer rolling stock and its pantographs. The old Z stock on RER B ran just fine. (Therefore called the Saint Bernards of the RER)In Tokyo, oversized vehicles like cranes are more of a problem for cutting lines down at grade crossings than typhoons. They do stop running the trains at elevated sections when the wind is too strong but they'd do the same on third railed elevated lines if any of significant distance existed. (Osaka has them) |
