Right angle drive was very popular in Japan where most lines are 3'6" gauge in the fifties. Once powerful motors became small enough to fit, almost every company went to traditional parallel drive. Sagami Railway of Yokohama was the only one to order right angle drive cars up to 2001. It was also the only company that kept using PIII type outside disk brakes into the nineties.Also all of the Paris Métro from MP55 up to MP89 are right angle drive. (I don't know about MF88 and MF2000) |
