Didn't they use under-running third rail?I know some R9 cars were used on LIRR for work service. I assume this was with 750 volts, so the extra 150 volts was not a big deal? 720 volts would give a boost in performance, I bet. By the way, do you know the distance between substations on various lines; such as subway lines, and LIRR type lines, and high voltage lines like the NJT Hoboken division? |
