This invention provides a method by which rail systems can use air space above tracks and right of way for generating traction power for electric powered rail vehicles. Through the design and installation of rail-specific solar photovoltaic canopy modules, replicated and joined together in assemblies of various lengths, transit districts, rail agencies and operators can develop energy for rail vehicle traction power. Integrating solar PV technology and the supply and distribution of traction power can provide a rail system increased levels of energy independence, lower fixed energy cost over 25 to 30 years and the possibility of providing Carbon Neutral rail service.
