Trainwire,

My grandfather use to work on the Lackawanna railroad in the '20s, then it became the Eire-Lackawanna while my dad worked there. My grandfather was a electrician back then and the E-L would run 13,000 volts DC for their electric lines. Just in the '70-'80s did the E-L upgrade to AC power to mach the Penn-Central. At least that is what I was told. The Penn-Central ran 33,000 volt AC. Any more info on that?
