Switch to electricity

Regarding Metropolitan Railroad#Switch to electricity: it says installing the underground sliding shoe on the north-south line in January 1895. It was the first successful installation of such a system in the Western Hemisphere I dispute this: the City and South London Railway (opened 1890) in London was already using a sliding shoe by this date, and this line was wholly west of the prime meridian, hence in the Western Hemisphere. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 16:49, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
