Re: Third rail power loss - What happens usually?

Less than 1 car length. Over switches. NYCT uses apron or kicker rails to keep juic flowing. However, in penn station, JO interlocking has some major gaps in the 3rd rail that are longer than a DE/DM loco. Hence any Diesel electric LIRR train must be double ended to prevent gapping.
