I honestly don't know of any side-contact third rail systems, so if anyone knows of an example I'd be happy to hear about it.Rubber-tyred lines of Paris, Lyon, Montréal, Santiago and others that use the RATP rubber-tyre system. In case of Paris, steel-wheeled stock can run on rubber-tyred lines when fitted with side contact shoes. Even the museum Spargue stock can do that. BTW until the seventies, most of the Western suburbs of Paris used third rail, mostly underrunning but overrunning with cover in older sections. The shoes were double sided therefore compatible with both. |
