Posted by randyo on Fri May 1 15:09:32 2009, in response to Re: Covered/uncovered third rail, posted by VictorM on Fri May 1 14:43:37 2009. Partially correct. Elevated 3rd rail was closer and HIGHER than subway 3rd rail. As for the differences between the IRT and BMT, there was a thread about this a couple of months ago and there were photos posted of the Westchester Av el structure N/O 149 St that showed only elevated type 3rd rail indicating that there were certain areas on the IRT where only elevated 3rd rail was used by both subway and el cars. Nobody seemed to ba able to answer why certain areas on the IRT used both when in other areas, the el type served both purposes. |
