Posted by Jeff H. on Thu Oct 22 23:50:31 2009, in response to Re: The Electroliners, posted by Stephen Bauman on Thu Oct 22 18:48:38 2009. I think the poster was talking about simple suspension trolleywire vs catenary suspension with a messenger wire and a contact wire. Not metallic return double-wire (positive and negative wires). The Cincinatti system was exclusively double-wire and retained it to the end. Other systems had a mixture of single and double wire. Washington DC used conduit downtown, double-wire in the immediate vicinity (to combat electrolysis issues), and single-wire in the rural/suburban districts. However, AFAIK, the double-wire district was gone by the time that the PCCs arrived. |
