Diamond Crossing - Blåhaj Lemmy

Lemmy

Is this kind of crossing possible with overhead power lines? Don’t see any at all here, how are these ones powered?

Child’s play compared to the old “tram squares” in Melbourne where a 600VDC tram crosses a 1500VDC train line:

Melbourne tramway squares

Melbourne has three 'tramway squares' where 1500 V DC powered trains cross the tracks of 600 V DC powered trams on the level. They are located at Glenhuntly, Riversdale and Kooyong, with the fourth at Gardiner since grade separated.

Yeah! Two of the four remaining ones have been removed as part of the project. It’s kind of silly though, the other two aren’t currently slated to be removed.
