17,000 volts AC at 16 hertz can cause a lot of damage if bridged by frozen water. I wouldn’t want to be nearby.

What’s a “thermic event,” an explosion set off by Muslims?

Depending on where you are, the frequency on the Northeast Corridor can run from 16 to 60 hertz. It has to do with who electrified that stretch of track originally. Thanks to the modern art of thyristors, today’s electric locomotives can change on the fly.

Crazy stuff,my daughter takes this train everyday.
“Chief Sullivan says icicles formed as a result of the recent moisture and these icicles came in contact with high power lines from AMTRAk that run underneath the bridge.”

Why can’t they simply call it a short circuit caused by icicles touching the third rail?
“Thermic Event”, huh?
