The M-8 can not use the Amtrak 25 Hz power, they can only handle 60 hz.
Besides any contact with third rail by shoes will force the pantographs down as a safety precaution.

There is currently no budget to extend the third rail from Harold to Gate, a distance of about one mile.
The extention would require two tracks of third rail for a mile and a new substation to deliver the power.
