IMPLEMENTING AN ELECTRIFICATION PROGRAM: THE NORTHEAST CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
The NECIP involves the first major U.S. electrification in almost two generations. It involves two entirely separate segments--planning, design and construction of an entirely new system between New Haven and Boston, and conversion and rehabilitation of the existing system between Washington and New Haven. It was recommended that the entire system be designed and constructed to facilitate 25-kV 60-Hz operation. Discussed are the technical and economic issues, design and construction costs, and environmental impact.
