Routes that used trolley/catenary and third rail were Lake St, Skokie Swift, and Evanston. There was a automatic switch that sensed the source of the current....third rail or overhead. We were taught to expect current to be present in the third rail shoes/trolley block even in overhead territory. I imagine museums have disconnected the shoes/trolley blocks. Where trolley poles have been added, the shoes and trolleys blocks are disconnected also.
