HOW IT WORKS - TROLLEY OVERHEAD LINE

Back in 2019 I visited
Beamish Museum, and used what I learned there to write about Trolley #OLE for the #OLEbook 6th edition.

HOW IT WORKS - SPARK GAPS AND SURGE ARRESTERS

One of the things that I spent a lot of time on back in 2019 was sourcing good quality images for the #OLEbook - getting the more obscure stuff from publicly accessible places was quite hard.

That's why I had to go all the way to North East England to hunt down this Spark Gap on the Tyne & Wear Metro

Pan-European knowledge exchange, electrification-style; sent a copy of my #OLEBook to one of the Kiessling et al authors; got a copy of their book in return!

📣⚡️📖 I haven't shilled my #OLEBook for a while, so its time to shill it again... you can download for free at https://www.ocs4rail.com/downloads and buy the hardback from the PWI at https://www.thepwi.org/product/overhead-line-electrification-for-railways/ #ElectrifyAllTheThings
