Eletrificação

O sistema de fornecimento de energia elétrica aos trens por meio de fios de catenária aéreos ou um terceiro trilho. Os padrões comuns incluem 25 kV CA aéreo (usado pela maioria das linhas de alta velocidade), 15 kV CA (Europa Central) e 750 V CC terceiro trilho (muitos sistemas de metrô e suburbanos). A eletrificação melhora a aceleração, reduz as emissões e diminui os custos operacionais em comparação com a tração a diesel.
