Except apparently there's no power to the overhead lines as far as Stamford, and you can't hook a diesel to an Acela.
If the train had been moved it would have brought down all the overhead lines," Ms Pilmer said.

A pantograph is used to transmit the current from the overhead lines to the train Fig. 7.
After a lightning flashover, the resulted power frequency arc may cause the damages of insulators and the overhead line tripping.
DC transient voltage and current signals at the sending-end of the overhead line are assumed to be available.
By combining all the listed partial indices into a uniform grading we get the overhead line condition index.
The overhead line has a high series inductance and relatively low shunt capacitance that leads to a high surge impedance.
