Posted by randyo on Tue Sep 23 17:41:07 2008, in response to Re: Dual third rails on the IRT Els, posted by Hank Eisenstein on Tue Sep 23 16:48:27 2008. From the descriptions in the post, it would seem that IRT subway shoes were capable of operating with elevated 3rd rail if the ends were cut back. From personal observation, I have seen IRT subway shoes riding up on el type 3rd rail on the WP Rd Line and since, as I mentioned, joint IRT subway/el operation predated BRT/BMT joint operation, that meand that IRT shoes capable of such operation were in use long before the BRT could have "invented" them. |
