Not sure about the US, but trolley buses in the UK always had trolley poles, not pantographs. It's difficult to see how you could have two contacts with two overhead wires, insulated from each other, with a pantograph.i think there were places in the UK and in Europe where trams and trolley buses ran on the same streets, but I can't remember how the overhead wires were arranged. I think the trams had trolley poles too, and contacted only the live wire, leaving the neutral one for the trolley buses alone to use. |
