@WeThePeopleee It's rather "All abort" ;)

Quite spectacular! Perhaps the current being drawn isn' sufficient to trip the section circuit breaker - maybe because it's a 'stub end' feed (some way from the substation). The 3rd rail type circuit breakers operating between 600 and 850V are often set to trip at up to 5000 amps, depending on track feeding, traffic and numbers of tracks. Overheads are set at much less amperage. because the catenary could melt/or sag. It would be interesting to get comments from the Control Room staff!

I got it confirmed, it's a South African Metro rail running on 3,000V DC

Engineer: What's that noise?

Conductor: I'm making s'mores.

no need for train heating when you're sizzling nicely from the electric

If you look closely you can see the live wire has come down and is resting on the roof of the train. Dropping the pans would do nothing in this situation. Expect they got a massive electricity bill though!

Only works when you are travelling at 88mph
