Underrunning Third Rail systems (was:Re: LIRR East Side Access)

Posted by WillD on Mon May 22 15:37:17 2006, in response to Re: LIRR East Side Access, posted by Dan Lawrence on Mon May 22 08:32:38 2006. edf40wrjww2msgDetail:detailStr fiogf49gjkf0d Outside of NYC, Philadelphia, Rotterdam, and Amsterdam these cities use an underrunning third rail system on their subway or commuter rail. As you can see it's quite popular in Europe. Berlin S-bahn Berlin U-bahn, new, wide profile lines, Nuremburg's U-bahn Munich's U-bahn Hamburg's S-bahn Hamburg's U-bahn Oslo's T-bane Prague Metro Brussels Metro Sophia Metro Vienna Metro Copenhagen Metro Barcelona Metro Helsinki Metro Stockholm T-bana Warsaw Metro Bucharest Metro Minsk Metro Moscow Metro St Petersburg Metro Kazan Metro? Kiev Metro Kharkov Metro? Tashkent Metro? Baku Metro? Tblisi Metro? Dnepropetrovsk Metro? Samara Metro? I'm fairly certain I missed more than a few, and that's just in Europe and Russia. Most of the former Soviet systems have few pictures, but they usually did things on a standardized basis, so I included them with question marks. Looks like the Cairo Metro oddly enough uses underrunning third rail, as does the Sao Paulo Metro.
