Even a off the shelf ALP-46 would need to be heavely modified with lots of weight added to be able to work of Third rail.The theory is that this locomotive would based on similar multivoltage locomotives in use in Europe that can work on both AC and DC networks, but with 750 vdc third rail equipment installed. In fact, Alstom managed to get the TGV to work on the English third rail network, so I would consider such a locomotive to be somewhat *feasible* and not impossible to design. Admittedly, the big problem is still with the gaps... |
