I don't know that that helps. While in San Fran last year I rode

The lights aren't train-lined. There are lots of possible reasons
for that. (In contrast, lights in traditional RR passenger cars
usually were trainlined, but those systems were
battery-powered, re-charged by axle-driven dynamos when the
train was moving.)
