By the 1930s, the PRR had switched to overhead catenary electrification, but the LIRR has continued utilizing its third rail system. Voltage was increased from 600 V DC to 750 V DC in the early 1970s to meet the greater power needs of the railroad's new M-1 cars.

Overhead lines. An overhead line or overhead wire is an electrical cable that is used to transmit electrical energy to electric locomotives, electric multiple units, trolleybuses or trams. The generic term used by the International Union of Railways for the technology is overhead line. [1]
The development of 25 kV AC electrification is closely connected with that of successfully using utility frequency. The East Coast Main Line in the United Kingdom is electrified using 25 kV 50 Hz overhead lines. This electrification is ideal for railways that cover long distances or carry heavy traffic.
On 1 March 2011, Hammond announced that rail electrification from Didcot Parkway to Bristol Temple Meads and Cardiff Central would go ahead. The section linking Bristol Parkway and Bristol Temple Meads would also be electrified. [26] In March 2012, Amey plc was awarded a £700 million contract to undertake the electrification works. [27]
