"textContent": "A rail connector assembly for connecting a mobile machine to an electrically-conducting rail system includes a boom assembly, a trailing arm assembly, and contactor assembly. The boom assembly includes a main boom and a trailing arm adapter. A first end of the main boom is configured to be coupled to the mobile machine, and a second end of the main boom opposite to the first end is coupled to the trailing arm adapter. The trailing arm adapter includes an angled portion that extends at a non-zero angle from a longitudinal axis of the main boom. The trailing arm assembly is pivotably coupled to an end of the boom adapter. The trailing arm assembly includes a first arm and a second arm. The first arm is coupled to the trailing arm adapter, and includes at least one straight portion and at least one angled portion. The second arm is rotatable relative to the first arm. The contactor assembly is coupled to an end of the trailing arm assembly.",
