I remember this snow. Couldnt get in to work and my new supervisor had no team to supervise on her first day in the department... Bonus for her :D
-
@northlanderdude arcing is when the current from the live rail gets disturbed by ice causing the arcing, the ice still allows the electricity to travel to the train but the shoe running along the rail will arc and the train is unable to accelerate as it can severely damage the motors and shoe.
-
@northlanderdude Think you guys are confusing Traction and wheelslip. In rail terms , loss of traction isnt loss of grip but a loss in motor output. Low/poor rail adhesion is the term used to explain loss of grip to the rail. So loss of traction in this case would mean poor acceleration to to the motors being inhibited by the Lims or by the MCBs tripping in and out.

@AceFilmTrailers how is it not the traction if it arcs, arcs is a loss of traction, especially in ice and snow.
-
@northlanderdude its not the traction thats the issue here, when the train arcs it looses alot of power so the train cant accelerate all electric trains have the same issue when it comes to snow & ice.

@WILKO50 Hi Thanks for your comments! The camera is Panasonic HDC-SD9 - recording onto SD card so no moving parts while recording. I am very pleased with it!
