Talk:Volk's Electric Railway

Method of Operation
Quote from article:

"In general, there is only one train on each single track at any one time. The railway does not operate with two trains on one single track section."

The wording of the two sentences is contradictory. Either the railway does or does not operate with two trains on one single track section at oner time. Although this would be regarded as original research, Volk's Railway themselves seem to be unaware of any restriction on operation of two trains on one single track section as they operate in this manner regularly during busy periods particularly during weekends and school holidays. Two trains can often be seen in the Aquarium station or at the Marina station. The depart one after the other, the second train running twenty to thirty seconds behind the other. The line speed is clearly low enough that this is not a problem. Since there is no signalling anywhere on the line, it is clearly operated more as a tramway than a railway.

Also the line voltage is 110 volts not 160 volts as claimed in the article. Again, this could be considered original research, but there are signs all along the railway warning of the 110 volts centre electrified rail, particularly at the numerous pedestrian crossings. One has to assume that Volk's Railway themselves know what their voltage is. 86.163.87.193 (talk) 16:24, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Gauge
The article claims that the gauge was reduced to its current gauge. Since it was originally 2ft, this is hardly a reduction but an increase. Have I missed a point in the line's history where the gauge was larger than ? 86.163.87.193 (talk) 16:30, 22 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes: it was for a time.  It's in the article now, but maybe it wasn't when you added the above note.  Why they felt a need to lose half an inch remains a mystery. 109.145.22.224 (talk) 16:43, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
