Amtrak's Northeast Corridor including their line from Philly to
Harrisburg (former PRR , ex-PC) still runs 11000VAC 25 cycles in their
catenary. The former NY Connecting RR (Hell Gate bridge route)
including the former New Haven RR"s Harlem River branch also using
11000VAC 25 cycle power in the cat. The change over to higher voltage
and 60 cycles is before New Rochelle Jct where the branch meets the
former NH (now Metro-North ) main from GCT. Metro-North as well as
Amtrak's main from New Haven to Boston is 60 cycles.

I believe the power lines from the falls crossing over from Canada to
the US by the Peace Bridge is still 25 cycles. Who in Buffalo is still
using it, I don't know.
