I believe AMTRAK and Metro North (State of Connecticut) were replacing all the old stle "triangular" catenary wiring in prep for ACELA; it may or may not have included the support bridges and gantries. This between NYC and New Haven, which is where I hear the accident occurred. <br /> <br />The wiring between New Haven and Boston is all "new", especially set up for the ACELA service, I believe. <br /> <br />Which leads to the question- are local commuter trains along the old Shoreline route powered by electrics or are there still diesels on the line? <br /> <br />Erik
