IIRC, The overrunning shoes that LIRR uses are higher than the underrunning shoes that MNRR use. MNRR had a locomotive that had breakaway adjustable shoes. If they were in the wrong position, they were designed to breakaway if they hit something so as not to damage the third rail or its supports. Also, AFAIK, the shoes are metal all the way through, so they should be able to draw power regardless of which side makes contact. |
