[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by ndbprr</i> <br /><br />The PRR used 50 cycle power that it generated itself primarily at Conowengo Dam on the Susquehana river. The idea was that people couldn't steal the power becasue it makes lights visibly flicker. AMtrak changed over to the new voltages around the time of the AEM-7. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I did not know about that little tidbit. Thanks!
