You are going to learn how to address this gentleman in an adult manner. You are not communicating with some little high school kid, have respect for grown men and women on this board. Otherwise buzz off, and keep your limited opinions, ideas, and photography to yourself. |

That seems to be the standard for new Light Rail Systems.Older Light Rail systems that were upgraded from streetcar systems stay with 600 Volts DC |

I found this page as the first hit on a Google search.It's 870V DC, rather unique among US LRT. Substations at 1½- to 1¾-mile intervals is pretty close together, and a lot of them.

My guess is that it was because you posted these sets of Dallas pics and then said that you would be there for the opening of the new line. It just made him curious as to whether or not you lived in Dallas. Or I could be completely wrong... |

DART is unique in having one of the few variable voltage power distribution system in North America. Each substation is polled for energy usage and voltages are varied according to energy used and energy needed. An energy management system logs and predicts the amount of energy needed by the system based on usage history and predicted schedule. The energy management system's main purpose is to reduce energy costs while providing proper energy to the light rail vehicle. Not all substations have to be operational for the light rail system to work. In the event of loss of utility power to a substation, the system is designed to provide enough power to compensate.Very interesting. A section of catenary is only energized when a train is in it. |

A section of catenary is only energized when a train is in it.I don't know that I would go that far. I think that they just mean that they distribute more power to busy sections rather than have everything constant. |

Substations at 1½- to 1¾-mile intervals is pretty close together, and a lot of them.It seems like a standard distance. The blue line in LA has 20 substations on a 22 mile long line. Basically one per station. I don't think that it could run 3-car trains every 5-6 minutes with any less. |
