Third-rail electrification between Hartford, New Britain, and Berlin, a total of 12 mi (20 km) in 1896. This third-rail system was unique; it consisted of an inverted V cross-section rail, mounted on the cross ties between the running rails, and was totally exposed. In 1898, the New Canaan Branch was electrified with 500V DC catenary. [1]
With the use of 3,000 or 3,600 volts at 16 + 2 ⁄ 3 (16.7) Hz, the supply could be fed directly to the motor without an onboard transformer. Generally, the motor(s) fed a single axle, with other wheels linked by connecting rods, as the induction motor is sensitive to speed variations and with non-linked motors on several axles the motors on ...
Other Transformers characters that came from the Diaclone line included the Dinobots, Insecticons (from the enemy Waruder toys), the Jumpstarters, the mail-order exclusive Powerdashers and Omnibots, the Decepticon planes (originally from two "JetRobo" toys, produced in the colors of future Decepticons Starscream and Thundercracker) and the ...

Robert Davidson, of Aberdeen, Scotland, created an electric locomotive in 1839 and ran it on the Edinburgh-Glasgow railway at 4 miles per hour. [1] The earliest electric locomotives tended to be battery-powered. [1] In 1880, Thomas Edison built a small electrical railway, using a dynamo as the motor and the rails as the current-carrying medium.
The 184 locomotives carried out a series of test runs on the European rail networks on which they were scheduled to run, gaining approval on SNCB's Belgian 3 kV network in September 1968, SNCF's French 25 kV 50 Hz network in February 1969, [23] and NS's Dutch 1.5 kV network in July 1969; however, on the latter network they never ran.
In Japan on the Tokaido, Sanyo and Kyushu Shinkansen lines (using 1,435 mm or 4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in gauge). In South Korea on the Korail network. In Taiwan on the Taiwan High Speed Rail line (using 1,435 mm or 4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in gauge) and on Taiwan Railway Administration's electrified lines (using 1,067 mm or 3 ft 6 in gauge).
In Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, a J-3a Dreyfuss appears in a vintage photo that was kept by Seymour Simmons in which the Hudson is confirmed as a Seeker by Autobot Wheelie. In the Rugrats episode "Murmur on the Ornery Express", there is a steam locomotive called "Biendeltown Express", which resembles a NYC streamlined NYC J-3a Hudson.
