Re: Re: Pantographs && Interior lighting

I don't know that that helps. While in San Fran last year I rode on two-unit
trains and when the lights went off in one car, they were on in the other and
vice versa. Any explanations?

There is a solution to the bouncing pantograph problem - multiple-unit
operation!  While one pan bounces, the other is likely to be still on the
wire, and the lights stay on.  Shouldn't cost more than a couple of billion
to retrofit MU gear to the whole fleet.
 
The first time I saw ever saw a Faiveley pantograph was in Melbourne at
Flinders Street railway station.  I think the Victorian Railway had one
fitted on a Parcel Van.  Anyone remember that?
