Shoes may have had something to do with tracking at insulated crossovers.  I don't know if shes are identical on trolley coaches, but we know the harps are vastly different (TC's use swivel harps just like trolley cars in Britain).

             Pictures of some of the PCCs at the outer ends of the lines 
on JTC show that both TrolleyCars and trolleycoaches shared the 
wire.     This was  probably  just before conversion to trolleycoach.
