Описание:
C-Train is the light rail transit system in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It has been in operation since 1981. Operated by Calgary Transit, the system currently is running on 48.8 kilometres (30.3 mi) of track, organized into two routes. The longer route, 201, serves the southern and northwestern areas, while the shorter route, 202, serves the northeastern sections of the city. Most track is at grade with its own right-of-way. The downtown portion is shared right-of-way serving both routes along the 7th Avenue transit mall at street level. This portion is a zero-fare zone and serves as a downtown people mover. The tracks split at the east and west ends of downtown into lines leading to the south, northeast and northwest residential neighborhoods of Calgary. An additional line is currently being implemented to extend route 202 to the western neighborhoods. Eight percent (8%) of the system is underground, and 5% is grade-separated (elevated). Trains are powered by overhead electric wires,...Похожие книги
