The offset overhead line and pantograph can be seen. The Uetliberg line is constructed to standard gauge and uses overhead lines for electrification. Both it and the Sihltal line, with which it shares right-of-way between Zürich HB SZU and Zürich Giesshübel, are electrified at 15 kV AC. [10] Prior to August 2022 the Uetliberg line used 1200 ...
S4 service (Sihltalbahn) in the Sihl valley. S10 service (Uetlibergbahn) at Uetliberg station. Two overhead conductor rails for the same track. Left, 1200 V DC for the Uetliberg railway (the pantograph is mounted asymmetrically to collect current from this rail); right, 15,000 V AC for the Sihltal railway Once the terminus of the SZU lines, Selnau station is now a through station on the line ...
The Sihltal line is constructed to standard gauge and uses overhead lines for electrification. Both it and the Uetliberg line, with which it shares right-of-way between Zürich HB SZU and Zürich Giesshübel, are electrified at 15 kV AC. [15] Prior to August 2022 the Uetliberg line used 1200 V DC.
Whilst the Sihltal line uses the 15 kV AC system like all SBB lines, the Uetliberg line had a 1.2 kV DC overhead line which, looking uphill, is shifted 1.3 m (4 ft 3 in) to the right of track centre. Previous electric trains can run under one voltage only, AC trains collect power from the centre overhead, DC trains from the off centre contact line.
The generic term used by the International Union of Railways for the technology is overhead line. [1] 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.
