When the overhead line was raised in the Simplon Tunnel to accommodate taller rolling stock, a rail was used. A rigid overhead rail may also be used in places where tensioning the wires is impractical, for example on moveable bridges. In modern uses, it is very common for underground sections of trams, metros, and mainline railways to use a ...
[a] 464.2 hectares (4.642 km 2) of land will be needed to be acquired by Bangladesh Railway to implement the project. [1] Chinese companies and the World Bank have shown interest in providing funding for the project through public–private partnership and build-own-operate models. [6] [7] [8]
Since 1940. Used both third rail DC (1200 V) and overhead line AC (6.3 kV 25 Hz) until 1955. Also uses German standard 15 kV AC 16 2/3 Hz overhead electrification on the section between Neugraben and Stade on line S3, opened in December 2007.

From 1928 to its abandonment in 1940, the narrow-gauge Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn Railroad was operated with overhead electrification. The railroad shut down in 1940, and portions of it were used for the MBTA Blue Line which opened in 1953, although it used an entirely new electrification system and is operated as part of a subway system.
Metro-North Railroad utilizes M8 electric multiple units on its New Haven Line, which are capable of using 750 V DC Third Rail, 12.5 kV 60 Hz and 25 kV 60 Hz overhead electrification. Third rail electrification persists between Grand Central Terminal and Mount Vernon East, while overhead electrification exists from Pelham to New Haven. While ...
Dual electrification is a system whereby a railway line is supplied power both via overhead catenary and a third rail. This is done to enable trains that use either system of power to share the same railway line, for example in the case of mainline and suburban trains (as used at Hamburg S-Bahn between 1940 and 1955).
