Encyclopedia > SR Class CP

The Southern Railway (SR) gave the designation CP to the fleet of AC electric multiple units used on lines in the Crystal Palace area. The Southern Railway in the United Kingdom was the smallest of the four railway systems created in the Grouping ordered by the Railways Act of 1921. ... A multiple unit is a passenger train whose carriages have their own motors, either diesel (DMUs) or electric (EMUs), and do not need to be hauled by a locomotive. ...


Construction

The CP (Crystal Palce stock) units were built in 1911-1912 to provide the electric train stock required for the LBSCR AC overhead electrification to Crystal Palace and the surrounding area. This stock comprised of some 90 cars, which were used in three-car formations. Early days The London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway or LB&SCR was a railway company in the United Kingdom from 1846 to 1923. ...


After the replacement of the AC overhead equipment by the 750V DC third rail system adopted as standard by the SR, the carriages that formed these units were rebuilt accordingly.


Formations

Initial formations of these units were as follows:


Diesel Locomotives - Electric Locomotives - DMU - DEMU - AC EMU - DC EMU - Departmental Units
