third rail

[keitaro]

So since third rail is coming up a bit and I`m interested in this I have whipped up a quick list of third rail lines and listed prototypes.

 

I hope to update when I have time with a pic of each prototype.

 

I have missed a line or 2 I think and a few prototypes. If you see anything missing pm me with appropriate link and or info and I will add it in the list.

Add Usui Pass to your list - they had three classes of rack locos, all fitted for 3rd rail operations during rack days.

I also took the new tram to the wifes friend house instead of via car so i could get some shots of the third phase rail.
