A guide track includes a guide rail having a guide groove opened upward in which guide wheels are inserted, and formed with guide surfaces for causing each of the guide wheels to roll at both sides of a traveling course in a width direction; conductor rails that are placed at both sides of an outside of the traveling course in the width direction with respect to the guide groove to perform contact electricity supply by pressing a power collection shoe of a power collector of a track-based vehicle; a first insulator that supports the conductor rails with respect to the guide rail; and insulation plates that are provided at both sides of the conductor rail in the width direction, and are provided in parallel to the conductor rail and in parallel to a pressing direction of the power collection shoe.

A cover assembly includes a support bracket from which a cover board is selectively suspended. The support bracket is itself mounted to a third rail or contact rail by a clip which cooperates with the bracket. The cover board is held in place on the bracket by an upper flange which has a tapered or V-shaped front wall, as well as a tapered bottom wall. A flag holder, which can be selectively attached to the bracket, includes a first section with an engaging member that cooperates with an engaging member located on the support bracket, a center section including a through bore for holding a flagstaff of a safety flag and a second end section. The second end section is adapted to attach the flag holder to a different type of cover board support bracket.

A charging system for an electric vehicle has an elongate enclosure having a plurality of sides and an at least partially open side. The enclosure defines a hollow interior. The charging system further includes a conductor rail disposed in the hollow interior and that is accessible through the at least partially open side of the enclosure. The conductor rail may be placed in electric communication with an electrical power source and thereby may be selectively placed in electrical communication with an electrical connector of an electric vehicle. The charging system may conduct electric current from the electrical power source to an electric power supply of the electric vehicle.

A third rail power insulating system, which has a cover board assembly having a support bracket assembly, cover board assembly retaining clips, a side cover board, and a top cover board. The support bracket assembly has a top wall, at least two pairs of top bracket holes with top threads, top bolt supports, a lateral wall, at least three pairs of lateral bracket holes with lateral threads, lateral bolt supports, internal walls, internal reinforcement walls, and a central wall. The side cover board has a plate having a plate top edge and a plate bottom edge, first and second lateral holes, and first and second lateral bolts. The top cover board has an elongated plate, a bottom face having hexagonal cells, first and second top holes, first and second top bolts, and an elongated lip.

A third rail insulator having a head assembly with a channel, and a pedestal assembly. The head assembly and the pedestal assembly are integrated as a single structure to support and isolate a contact rail assembly that supplies power to a transit vehicle. The channel is an open channel that diametrically extends along the upper section of the head assembly. The channel receives the contact rail assembly.
