Daveklepper: we still use a lot of 25Hz on the northeast corridor, the only place that went to 60Hz is when they had electrified the line up north in CT a few years ago. But, we're still running 25Hz for the most part. the power companies a few years ago gave Amtrak notice that they would not be able to supply us with 25Hz after a certain date. So, Amtrak built its own converter stations (20 mega-watts) where we take commercial 60Hz and convert it to 25Hz. One is located in Bowie, Md.
