Hi, I’m working on a fiction project set in a rebuilding society 100 years out. It’s fairly utopian so people are prioritizing restoring and improving train infrastructure and service pretty significantly. American cities have high speed rail connecting them, and because I’m building this story out of my daydreams, defunct...
It’s unclear if you’re imagining that power is provided along the line or if these will need to be self-powered.
If you’re looking in New England specifically then the rolling stock of MTA Metro North or CT Rail might be of interest. Assuming the protagonists will have access to a power source. I think Hartford Line CT Rail uses both third rail and overhead power, so that might make for a point of discussion about them seeking out these specific units for their more flexible powering options and voltages.
What's the most realistic/reasonable source for an electric self propelled railcar conversion in rural New England? angielski
