Summary
| Description |
English: The London Underground uses a 4-rail system in which the electrical return is isolated from the running rails (the rails used by the train's wheels). The arc seen here on a District Line D Stock leaving Ealing Common Station are quite normal and occur when the electric power collection "shoes" of a train that is motoring (i.e. drawing power) reach the end of a section of electric power rail.
Русский: В Лондонском метрополитене используется 4-рельсовый путь, в котором обратный ток возвращается через отдельный рельс, изолированный от ходовых (по которым движутся колёса поезда). На фото показаны искры от поезда D78, отправляющегося со станции «Ближний Илинг» на линии Дистрикт. Это нормальное явление, происходящее, когда башмаки токоприёмников поезда, набирающего ход, проходят через промежутки в контактном рельсе.
