>>1461674It's the pic for
>>1461607. With linear motors, you basically put half the motor on the track, so you can lower vehicle floor / reduce clearance. This leads to a number of benefits competitive with rubber tyres, while keeping steel wheels.
>but there's no reason conventional trains couldn't have small loading gauges as wellFor the same train cabin dimenion, the profile can be reduced. This significantly influences tunnel cross-section. I don't think there's a linear motor rubber-tyre duorail system (the guideway may have to be offset or changed to side guided?), closest being the non-maglev Moscow Monorail.
>>1461708You are wrong though
