"200 metres of cable stolen"

That's a long heavy cable get stolen. How the hell they can OFF the power and cut?

Nowadays, recycle scrap centers don't accept cable anymore, probably of cable thief.

This is about communication/signalling cable, not power cable.

I thought they so brave cut the DC power cable.

Signal cable carried low voltage.

Anyway, I forgot about the power line of the electric train ETS. I guess it is like power grid line, very high voltage that cable thieves do not dare to cut. The ETS is using 25kVac. Those using the DC voltage is only in Klang valley which is rail powered. Long power line has to be AC to reduce power loss.

Even then, 200m is a lot of cable. Once you cut, the signaling station will know. But KTMB's usually response time, by the time they get to us, the thieves will be long gone.

It is far in remote area unless KTMB has post every 20km perhaps laugh.gif

Google map looks like 1mm away lah of course laugh.gif WhenI said remote, it does not necessarily means in the middle of the jungle. Remote from KTMB.

Nowadays, they cut in broad daylight also nobody bother because people think they are contractor doing some work. You think KTMB got people stationed in every town or kampung along the railway? smile.gif

Hence the need to consider wireless application where possible

Can't cut what's not there to cut

Anyway our msian also mostly tidak apa punya. No death no care.

People will usually slow down or even stop to watch accident even minor one, but not to help. They should apply to work as ambulance driver laugh.gif
