  The article mentions reinforcing and also adding “brooms” to the underside of the trains. I don’t know how it will shake out but it’s possible with the brooms they get cleaned more regularly than rooftop ones

    or just put panels on flat top buildings and cover parking lots.

      I got some very interesting information from someone who seems to be quite experienced in railway matters in another part of this thread.

      I have learned that this gap in the rails is much more ‘busy’ then I originally assumed.

      Either way I frankly think we should put solar panels just about everywhere. I don’t think the current limiting factor is panel supply, I think it’s instalation bottlenecks but I could be mistaken
