In photos 3,4,5,and 10, how did that consist maintain power through the switches?I'm trying to see the third rails. Was there enough forward motion to carry it to the next pick-up? |

CTA has been running 2 car trains for so long, their M/M are used to it by now and know exactly how much power to give it to make it across the gaps. |

A famous grade crossing was in Forest Park just east of Desplaines Avenue, where Chicago Aurora & Elgin owned tracks used by CA&E and Chicago "L" trains crossed B&OCT tracks. The famous advice to motormen was "Make a run for it and keep a stinger on hand just in case". |

That's an awesome video, but, did all of the cars lose the rail? I've always wondered what happens if its just the lead car.And was that a woman driver? There's your prob. |

In this country rail operators are called "operators". And your remark about women? Your misogyny is showing. When I last checked, the laws of physics apply equally to the sexes. |
