I agree with Railman.Interesting that there is no sign of any equipment to change the position of the third rail shoes in these cars. I understand they may add it at a later point, but I would expect there to be at least a mounting bracket or something down there. And why does the pilot barely cover the gauge width? I realize the Reading RR's old cow catchers may be a bit anachronistic, but even the Silverliner V's pilot extends out a bit beyond the rail. And it looks like they have cutouts for third rail, so I can't imagine the MNRR's requirements are any different. |
