The report studies catenary systems for the 150 mile/h train service proposed for the Northeast Corridor with electrification at 25 kV 60 Hz. Following a review of high speed catenaries, a computer simulation is used to show that current collection by multiple unit trains fitted with existing pantographs, running under existing catenaries between Washington and New Haven, will be satisfactory only at temperatures typically within the range 40F to 90F. Some deterioration will occur outside this range. Recommendations include minor modifications to catenaries between Washington and New York, and between Stamford and New Haven; major changes to the catenary between New York and Stamford, and development of a pantograph with improved dynamic performance.
