Would they have breaks (gaps) to segment the track into distinct stretches of conductors?
How far down the line would the supply voltage run (or how far away would a train complete the circuit) before resistance losses degrade the system?
- thaeli 4y agoYes, insulators were (and still are) used between track blocks. The maximum length of a block with this system (versions of which are still used today) varies greatly depending on local conditions. I've seen 2k to 10k feet as a general performance range.
