The PRR tried to do this in the 1950's and as soon as Main Line residents realized the eye sore that was to go up in their back yards they made a few phone calls and got Harrisburg to put the kibosh on the project. Let's hope that the same thing happens again to preserve the look and feel of the Main Line and its communities. |

Amtrak can just replace the 25Hz line out on the existing alignment as they have been doing elsewhere on their system. Moreover, they are assuming that the existing catenary poles need to be replaced. Metro North found that its catenary structure from 1906 and 1918 was perfectly capable of soldiering on into the 21st century after a round of rehabilitation. |

Well we'll see what Harrisburg tells them. The folks living in Wayne told the PRR to shove off and the PRR had a lot more clout than Amtrak does today. |

Probably cheaper to just start converting to 60hz rather than paying all this money to try to keep the 25hz system running. |
