Hurtful so very hurtful................................

I'm on the far right thinking, is that rail live and do I need to bond the sleepers ......................Tony what do you think mate

 

[Knobhead]

I did bond them. Pikies nicked all the copper tape!

Could have been worse, in Sheffield they nicked the track as well!

Any way who put you in charge of the job?

Hi, What country do you want the voltage for?
Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland NZ Trams (Street Cars) all use 500v DC. O/head height is 20 feet (or 6m). Wellington Trolley Buses also use 500v but of course have 2 poles.
