The Chambers Street trolley was powered by expensive conduit electric current under the roadway because the typical overhead wires were forbidden in Manhattan. In the 1920s, most lines were replaced with electrically-powered subways and buses with internal combustion engines. Will electric mass transportation make a comeback?

I love when I find something that makes my life just that little bit better. To an abled/able bodied person it may seem like nothing, just a random gadget or even laziness. But for me it just made every day of my life a little (or a lot) easier, solved a problem I've had to live with my whole life up to this point. Maybe they weren't intentionally made with this purpose in mind sometimes, but I love them nonetheless.

Poles, as opposed to pantographs, were by far the most popular means of current collection for interurban lines in North America. The pick-up is held against the live overhead wire with about 28 points of pressure applied through a spring-load3d trolley base mounted on the roof. (This is why they are called "trolley cars" -- much to the amusement of the Brits 🛒). 2-rail DCC in HO scale may or may not have a live overhead, but getting the pole on the wire is one of the most fiddly bits of model railroading ever...

"Poling" is something else entirely, where freight cars are shunted ...with a pole! One end of the thick pole is seated in a cast iron "poling pocket" on what the Brits might call the buffer beam of the locomotive and used to push against the same poling pocket hardware located on any corner of every freight car. Tight radius, incompatible couplers, adjacent tracks -- all problems that poling solved. Obviously not OSHA compliant, but it was railroading!

Andy Gautrey has done a bangup job of modeling North American traction -- Yakima Valley Transportation Company's General Electric interurban steeplecab freight motor and other very typical equipment and operations that were archetypal of electric lines, especially those that engaged in a large amount of interchange freight business.

Broke: electric battery cars, busses, trucks, and trains, that use volatile and unrenewable batteries that wear down and expire. Mass transit is sidelined in favor of everyone owning an EV, roads are just as awful and sprawling as ever.

Woke: Trolleys. Interurbans. Lightrail. Doodlebugs. Passenger trains. Local freight. High speed express routes. All powered by overhead catenary electric lines, fed by fast burning Thorium nuclear reactors.

Fact: at one point, a determined traveler could step onto an interurban train in Maine and travel all the way to Chicago. There is no reason, except the greed of fuel and automobile manufacturers, that this system had to be removed. And yet there is only one such system left! The South Shore is the last of these original routes left, serving from North Chicago to South Bend. There are of course commuter lines, in major cities, but these are on the decline as well, through neglect and removal of funding. We NEED to connect communities, businesses, and the very nation with rail travel again, and electric is the way to go. Just not with batteries! So easily we forget overhead electric lines.

Missing Seattle this week - I was born around there, and only get to visit every few years at best - and I REALLY wish I could find some paintings of it that aren’t a) The Space Needle, b) Pike Place Market, c) the city skyline

I Love Our Big Pointy Needle but please.... paint one (1) other thing....

#ideally would love some paintings of more intimate and human moments in seattle #and edmonds #like I miss all the electric rails/wires hung up for the trolleys #the cacophony of seagulls & crows & mourning doves that really just cements the seattle soundscape #the humidity & warmth of the clouds holding you like a blanket #the beautiful stupid fog that hangs over everything on certain days (most days)#the absolutely frigid cold that holds over from the morning when it gets sunny out #and keeps you wide awake through the day #the soft streetlights in the warm rain on the way to bookstores on aurora street #every night I ever slept there was the best sleep I'd ever had because of the sound and temperature #it's just not the same over here

So it seemed, given the material benefits – electric lights, trolleys, and machinery; phonographs, cinema, and radio; dyestuffs, fertilizers, and gasoline; anesthesia, medicines, and diagnostic X rays – that science had conferred upon the Anglo-American world since the late nineteenth century.
