@alon_levy Hi! Any comments on third rail versus o ethers?

Third rail is obsolete technology. The one good use is in constrained tunnels with no room for wires.

and even then! Linear motor trains do better

Yeah, but linear motor trains have to run linear motor on the rest of the line, whereas catenary-powered trains can be multi-voltage.

Thanks! Do you know if the larger Japanese companies have their own power supplies or do they purchase energy from a utility company?

Not sure tbh, I assume from utilities tho
