captaintrolley Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 From the inside looking out. The great Trolley chase, and the LRT crossing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 It's interesting to see that a trolley bus crossing can be built. When they were around in Toronto, i dont think they ever had those. And there are no street car crossings with heavy rail either...or at least none that i have see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they were around in Toronto, i dont think they ever had those. And there are no street car crossings with heavy rail either...or at least none that i have see. It's not too hard to do. I'm sure they are common in Europe where both trolleybuses and catenary powered trains are more common. I do have a number of images somewhere on my hard drives showing them. In Toronto, there were trolleybus/ streetcar crossings. That, however, is easy to do. In fact, its probably easier to build and less complicated than building a regular trolleybus crossing.

(Where there's wire, there's hope). They are saying though, that at 114 Street and 76 Avenue, where the LRT is going to go North & South along 114 Street, and the Route 7 (a trolley route) crosses 114 Street to go East & West along 76 Avenue, that it will not be possible to build a trolley / LRT crossing. I am not an expert here, but it is something to do with the angle of the actual crossing. I hope that they can resolve this and that when the construction is finished that the Route 7 will return to trolley operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captaintrolley Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 A nice view of # 137 from the second floor lounge of BP on 109 Street and 82 Avenue, and my friend's car passing Unit # 438. He said he was driving downtown when he passed # 438. I told him I took a pic of #438 downtown. We checked the pic and he said, "That's my car !" What a coincidence.

I believe they have since changed their tune when they realized what they were saying was a bunch of crap. As I said... I have some pics (right from K+M's website) lurking on my computer of a 90 degree catenary/ trolleybus overhead crossing. And... San Fransisco already has 90 degree trolleybus/ streetcar (LRV) with pantograph crossings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The website Martin refers to: http://www.kuma.ch/kuma/en/bt/produkte/weichen.asp What's also interesting is that K&M makes switches that are more "Ohio Brass" style; that is, spliced directly to the running wire instead of suspended on tubes. Would be interesting to see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VIII Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Wow! Confusing! Is the electricity in the Trolley wire the same voltage, etc as the LRT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captaintrolley Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 If the top of the duck's head were red it would look like a Santa hat. That is an awesome looking duck. My kid loves ducks. Thanks for the pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 There's Snakes on a Plane, how about...(Don't worry, I'll evenually get over it tongue.gif) I know I won't get over the sight of them on Bay as I don't even go there often By the way its a pretty catchy phrase 'Fishbowls on the 6 Bay' you created but however I find A 'New Look' for the 6 Bay to be slightly better. Hopefully you can decipher the double meaning of the phrase Now without further ado, more New Looks in the downtown core Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MT0603 Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 I say they sting wire on Bay and buy some E40LFRs... ...and if they can't string wires, there's always the D40LFR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
