	SEG 4Cor Unit 3142
		Southern Railway 4Cor unit 3142 is the electric multiple unit owned and being restored by the Southern Electric Group's associate company Southern Electric Heritage Limited.
		Unit 3142, one of the last units to run in BR revenue earning service, did not keep in its original formation for most of its working life.
		Restoring an electric multiple unit is a massive task and your help in the form of donations and volunteer effort is sought.

	Electric, locomotive, multiple unit, batteries
		Modern urban mass transit systems like metros and EMUs (Electrical Multiple Units) involve not only high traffic density and frequency, with large numbers of passengers carried in often-crowded conditions, but they frequently have extensive sections of track underground.
		On electric locomotives, batteries are used to raise and lower the pantograph to connect the overhead catenary and also to supply emergency power as back-up for the low voltage system.
		With both EMUs and electric locomotives, emergency power is required for systems such as lighting and air-conditioning, computing, communication and door control.

	The liveries of Privatisation - 4 - Electric multiple-units
		At this date, the units were running in three-car formations, as one of the coaches for each set was yet to be delivered.
		Although externally these units are very similar to the class 165 diesel units, the fact that the class 365's have 2+2 seating instead of 2+3 makes them seem luxurious and roomy in comparison.
		One of these, unit 1512, is seen between duties in Clapham Junction yard (on track 42?) on 6 February 1999 wearing SWT colours.

	Wikinfo \| Train
		On the most common form of diesel train, the diesel engine drives a generator which provides power for electric motors which turn the wheels (diesel-electric), or in some cases the power from the diesel engine is transferred to the wheels by hydraulic means (diesel-hydraulic).
		For straight electric trains the power to run the electric motors is generated at a power station and supplied to the train by some form of distribution system.
		The trains are electrically powered, usually by third rail, and their railroads are separate from other traffic, without level crossings.

	Welcome to the South Florida East Coast Corridor Study
		Some systems use Electric Trolley buses which are similar to either standard or articulated diesel powered buses, except that they are propelled by electric motors and obtain power from two overhead catenary wires along the route.
		Two wires are required to complete the electrical circuit, whereas, electric rail vehicles require only one overhead wire as they complete the circuit by returning power through rails.
		Electric trolley buses are available as either standard trolleys approximately 40 feet in length or articulated trolleys approximately 60 feet in length.

	[IRFCA] Indian Railways FAQ:Multiple Units (EMU/DMU) and other self-propelled vehicles
		The ICF-built MG EMUs in the Chennai system that ran until June 2004 were notable for their brisk acceleration and crisp braking (they were equipped with vacuum brakes).
		On CR, a 3-coach unit is classified as 76, 70, or 72, where 76 is the leading motor coach, 70 is the motor coach with a pantograph, and 72 is the trailer coach.
		Usually two such EMU units are coupled together, one supplying the power and the other converted to house an emergency medical treatment facility, where the diesel-generator supplies power for air-conditiioning, etc. The hospital units have emergency medical equipment and surgical facilities.

	British Rail Information
		In 1973 the TOPS system for classifying locomotives and multiple units was introduced, and is the basis of the classification system.
		When BR was created, diesel traction was in its infancy in the United Kingdom (though more progress had been made in other countries, whose experience could arguably have been used to a greater degree in informing developments in the UK).
		Electric traction was more advanced than diesel traction at Nationalisation, with a number of isolated electrified networks across the country using a variety of power supplies, though 1500 V dc overhead supply had been accepted as the national standard in the 1930s.

		The recommendation to use so-called EMU technology - Electric Multiple Unit - instead of DMU, or Diesel Multiple Unit, was announced Monday by the RTD study team at the Denver City Council's FasTracks Committee.
		The term "multiple unit" refers to the ability of each car to operate on its own or in tandem with several other cars in a train.
		The electric cars accelerate faster than the diesels, cutting the travel time to DIA to 29 minutes instead of 34 minutes.

	Steamtown NHS: Special History Study
		The company planned both to convert existing steel coaches to electric trailer coaches--and had bought 60 cars (50 coaches and ten combination baggage-passenger cars) in 1925 so designed that they could be easily converted if the railroad chose--and to buy new electric multiple-unit motor coaches.
		This is the first electric train on the Lackawanna (September 3rd, 1930), which you started and ran for half a mile through the tracks and switches of our terminal observing all signals like the men whose duty it is to do this work daily.
		It was not until a wintry January day in 1931, however, that the company completed construction of its electric system, and the final changeover from steam-powered commuter trains to electric multiple-unit cars took place on January 25, 1931.
