Difference between Third rail and Third rail (model railroading)

Third rail vs. Third rail (model railroading)

A third rail is a method of providing electric power to a railway locomotive or train, through a semi-continuous rigid conductor placed alongside or between the rails of a railway track. The use of a third rail in rail transport modelling is a technique that is sometimes applied in order to facilitate easier wiring.

Similarities between Third rail and Third rail (model railroading)

Third rail and Third rail (model railroading) have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Overhead line, Rail transport modelling, Railroad tie, Track (rail transport).

Overhead line

An overhead line or overhead wire is used to transmit electrical energy to trams, trolleybuses or trains.

Rail transport modelling

Railway modelling (UK, Australia and Ireland) or model railroading (US and Canada) is a hobby in which rail transport systems are modelled at a reduced scale.

Railroad tie

A railroad tie/railway tie/crosstie (North America) or railway sleeper (Britain, Ireland, South Asia, Australasia, and Africa) is a rectangular support for the rails in railroad tracks.
