The report describes existing equipment and physical conditions within the Corridor. After establishing performance objectives and design standards for the upgrading of existing systems and the construction of new electrification facilities, it examines the voltage and frequency alternatives available and identifies the most cost-effective solution. Estimated costs, for each alternative are presented. Environmental aspects are referenced, alternative traction power supply and distribution systems are reviewed, and the status and dynamics of catenary systems are analyzed from first principles. The report closes with an economic analysis of the electrification alternatives.
