Nope none of that just riding with freedom nuggett i guess .
They still have it the young ones where they can dare to be different .
But im now reading about electric trains and how they earth etc find ground an what they use for the tranmission line which seems is called a well i will just paste .

How do trains receive electricity when running on tracks with overhead lines? Is there a connection between the train and the ground below?Locomotives generally take their power from the overhead wire through a pantograph, which is a collapsible open framework with “shoes” to contact the wire and wiring to bring the electricity down to the motors in the locomotive. Locomotives normally have two pantographs but only use one in normal operations. Street cars generally use a “trolley pole” to collect power from the overhear wire. In both cases the metal wheels on the rails act as the ground to complete the circuit.
What has me more interested in say copper is yes as far as i can make out when you drive past an electric train system those wires that look like power lines are copper where a power transmission line to your house is not it can be other material say aluminon etc for underground .
Its just the oxidisation i think why they are not copper colour to look at though when new they are ?
I seen some being put up after a train pulled them down had me ticking the boxes like six does when she comes across something different in the market we may not notice !
Anyway sometimes people who travel gain a perspective to look at things differently .
Sometimes i just have to catch up with it all or share something interesting perhaps for the thread investing or not .
