Eastern Railroad Discussion > CNO&TP questionDate: 12/02/18 09:17 CNO&TP question Author: train1275 How serious was Southern in plans to electrify the CNO&TP?
Posted from Android Date: 12/02/18 09:39 Re: CNO&TP question Author: Rathole Serious enough that tunnels at Nemo bored during the 60s line changes were made tall enough to support catenary.

I don't think TO will let me post the link but the Classic Trains website has a nice summary of various US electrification proposals. A quick Google search should lead to the article that includes maps (took me 5 seconds). niagara484 |
