Re: AMTRAK POWER ELECTRIC

Why are you still using a period where you should put a question mark. (?)

Simple answer: 25kV/60Hz from New Haven to Boston is new build. From New Haven to Shell Interlocking (New Rochelle NY) used to be 11kV 25Hz (as the New Haven RR built it) and was rebuilt by Metro-North and Connecticut DOT as 12kV 60Hz. From Shell to Washington Union Station (about to "A" interlocking IINM) is legacy Pennsylvania RR 11kV 25Hz wires that Amtrak never rebuilt as yet.

Here's a question for you: Why are the wires out of Hoboken Terminal now 60Hz. Think you can try to find out on Google or not.
