ABSTRACT:
A railway system including a track and a train adapted to run on the track. A power feed line comprising a series of feed sections is provided to extend along the track. A plurality of stations are provided along the track and the station has a power supply unit adapted to be selectively connected with one of the feed sections to supply a controlled three-phase AC power to the feed section to thereby operate the train on that feed section in a desired mode. The train has a pair of collecting shoes which are connected with the tracting motor in parallel with each other and arranged with a space in a longitudinal direction of the train. In the station, there is an insulated junction between the two adjacent feed sections which is located so that it is between the two collecting shoes on the train which is stopped in the station at a predetermined position.
