Régional Saignelégier–Glovelier
The Régional Saignelégier–Glovelier (RSG) was a railway company that operated a metre-gauge railway from Saignelégier to Glovelier in Switzerland. In 1944, the railway was merged to form the Chemins de fer du Jura (CJ), which Track gauge conversion, converted the line to metre gauge and electrified it at 1500 Volt Direct Current, DC. Today, the line is part of the La Chaux-de-Fonds–Glovelier line. History The main lines, which were formed quite early in the Jura Mountains, Jura were built primarily to connect to France and did not serve the Franches-Montagnes District, Franches-Montagnes. The metre-gauge Saignelégier–La Chaux-de-Fonds Railway (''Chemin de fer Saignelégier-La Chaux-de-Fonds, SC'') opened a line over the Franches-Montagnes plateau in 1892. The Régional Saignelégier–Glovelier opened the extension from Saignelégier to Glovelier on 21 May 1904. However, the RSG was built to standard gauge to simplify the operation of its extensive livestock and tim ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Overhead Line
An overhead line or overhead wire is an electrical cable that is used to transmit electrical energy to electric locomotives, Electric multiple unit, electric multiple units, trolleybuses or trams. The generic term used by the International Union of Railways for the technology is ''overhead line''. It is known variously as overhead catenary, overhead contact line (OCL), overhead contact system (OCS), overhead equipment (OHE), overhead line equipment (OLE or OHLE), overhead lines (OHL), overhead wiring (OHW), traction wire, and trolley wire. An overhead line consists of one or more wires (or Overhead conductor rail, rails, particularly in tunnels) situated over rail tracks, raised to a high electrical potential by connection to feeder stations at regularly spaced intervals along the track. The feeder stations are usually fed from a High voltage, high-voltage Electricity distribution, electrical grid. Overview Electric trains that collect their current from overhead lines use a de ...
