The Pennsylvania Railroad s class L5 were the railroad s second generation of production electric locomotive s after the PRR DD1 DD1 , and the last to use a jackshaft and side rod s to drive the wheels. The L5 was a single unit locomotive instead of the twin unit DD1. Thirteen were built. One was an alternating current AC unit with an overhead pantograph rail pantograph later two , while the other twelve were third rail direct current DC units to work on the existing PRR third rail electrification in the New York area. The wheel arrangement in Whyte notation was 2 4 4 2 , or AAR wheel arrangement 1 B B 1 1 B B 1 in the Association of American Railroads scheme. The L5 was not as successful as the DD1, and was actually outlasted in service by the earlier locomotives.

Over the years of tram s and tramways, there have been many designs of tramcars for use on the tramways, ranging from historical locomotive s pulling wagons, to some of the preserved cars such as the Pantograph, Coronation, Balloon or Standard cars at the National Tramway Museum or at the Blackpool tramway . During the nineties and early noughties there was a renaissance in UK tramways with several new networks opening and expanding leading to a second generation of modern tramcars such as Bombardier s INCENTRO and the Ansaldobreda S.P.A. T 68s and T 69 as well as Sheffield s Supertram. At the start of a new decade another generation of new tramcars are on order or entering service such as the Flexity Swifts in Manchester, Flexity 2 s in Blackpool, customised units manufactured by CAF for Edinburgh and a replacement class for the short lived and troubled T 69 of the Midland Metro.

Subsequent operation was by diesel locomotive . The railroad was closed in 1992. The Visalia Electric used the unusual choice of 15 Hertz Hz alternating current AC at 3,300 Volts carried by overhead wire , with pantograph rail pantograph s on the cars for pickup. Parent Southern Pacific intended this as a testbed for main line, long distance electrification of its own lines in the area, a project that never came to fruition. At one time in its life the Visalia Electric briefly interchanged with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway ATSF . The ATSF was seen by the Southern Pacific as a rival. So for most of the life of the Visalia Electric only interchanged with parent SP .

Electric current collectors are used for trolleybus es, tram s, electric locomotive s or Electric multiple unit EMUs to lead electrical power from overhead lines or electrical third rail s to the electrical equipment of the vehicles. Typically, they have one or more spring loaded arms that permits the working engagement with the rail or overhead wire and a collector or contact shoe in running engagement with the wire or rail. The collector arms pushes the contact shoe against the contact wire or rail. As the vehicle moves, the contact shoe slides along the wire or rail to draw the electricity needed to run the vehicles motor.
