Originally, NYP and the East River Tunnels didn't have catenary, though. Olog-hai and some others have posted some very interesting images illustrating that.With AC electrification came catenary, of course. I'm also quite sure that in those days it all ran at the now arcane 25 Hz, instead of the modern 60 Hz. Part of the reason for the FL9 dual modes was probably NYNH&H cheaping out at the prospect of replacing the Cos Cob plant. |
