> AFAIK the NWP interurban in Marin 1200vdc 3rd rail was totally exposed.

NWP started out at 550v DC, later upped to 600v.

CCT: 1,200v 3rd rail (Wilgus-Sprague underrunning), also one of the first 1,200v interurbans. All the rest were overrunning: NE (SN) and the SFOBB (Key System). The SN and Key third rails were not compatible.

Thanks McClatchey and he Sac Bee for constantly carrying on abut "the death rail" for that legislation and GO re third rail.
