A light rail transit system has a railcar having a roller coaster wheel assembly, solar panels, a battery bank, an inverter, a solar charge controller, and a power rail contactor. The light rail system further has a rail system having a first riding rail and a second riding rail for receiving the roller coaster wheel assembly, and a power rail for providing backup power to the railcar via the power contactor, the power rail extending less than the length of the first riding rail and second riding rail and only supplying current when the power rail contactor of the railcar is in contact therewith.
