The LRT trolley system 10 miles long is fed by two substations that generate 600 volts and 560 volts , respectively. The resistance of the trolley wire and rail return is 0.3 ohm per mile. If the car is located 4 miles from the 600 volt station draws 200 A from the line. How much is the current supplied by each station?

in Manila, the LRT runs between Gil Puyat Station and Tayuman Station, which is 4 km apart and maintains voltages 420 volts and 410 volts respectively. The resistance of go and return is 0.05 ohm per km. The train draws a constant current of 300 A while in motion. What are the currents supplied by the two stations if the train is at the distance of minimum potential?
