Amtrak's 25hz power system that supplies the NEC between New York, Washington and Harrisburg is fed from a variety of supplies that generate the power directly or convert it from utility supplies.

The Baltimore Metro runs down the median of Interstate 795 between its Owings Mills terminal and the I-695 Baltimore Beltway. Although the subway line has a speed of 70mph on this segment, I caught the train, composed of married pairs 134-135 and 154-155, while it was still accelerating and thus was unable to properly pace it.
