Back in 2017 I did my first ever #RailwaysExplained thread over on the Site We Don't Mention. Now I'm porting it here!UK PANTOGRAPH RECOGNITION
Did you know there are currently no less than 13 pantograph types in use in the UK? Here they all are, starting with mainline types, in chronological order: first, the AM/BR type, in use from 1959. These are dwindling fast in number. This one has a Brecknell Willis head retrofitted with a closed horn
