I wonder how seamless the transition is— the setting depicted looks like a commuter rail setup where I would imagine it's fairly lengthy runs of powered vs unpowered.
Waterloo Region built an urban light rail [1] system ten years ago and overall I'm a huge fan of it, but the snarl of wires required at each intersection to make the overhead lines turn a corner is unfortunate. It would be neat if you could have the power only on straight runs and have frequent brief interruptions.
