Hi Folks, I need help with the following photo:
#1: The 27 point trainline jumper was used to control the locomotive from the cab control / power-pack unit.
#2 and #3: The other two jumpers were for the 650 VDC Head End Power system, a system design unique to LIRR. Does anyone know the size of the four individual conductors in LIRR’s positive power trainline? For comparison, Amtrak uses twelve 4/0 (four ought) conductors in their 480 VAC HEP trainline.
1. You can see there is a fourth jumper located between #2 and #3. What was the function of that fourth jumper?
2. Anyone with color shots of this type material?
3. A a photo that shows these trainline receptacles on the end of a push-pull car
Thank you. :-)
