Re: Metro-North service to Rensselaer launching in 2026

The M8 cars will have to use third rail power in order to reach NYP as they are not designed to run on 25Hz AC as that is what the former PRR electrification uses. The New Haven line uses 60Hz AC as it has since the old New Haven RR plant at Cos Cob was retired and the line changed to using commercial power instead.
