Today, I took the commuter train and I noticed that there was no 3rd rail and not airlines?
This is the line Fitchburg, Massachusetts. I thought it was weird. I was wondering where the train came to power. Does anyone know?
For non-electrified lines as the MBTA Fitchburg Line, trains are hauled by diesel locomotives as EMD F40PH or GP40MCs.
