Notes
  • Significance: The electrification of the New Haven Railroad was an innovative technological venture. The pioneering engineers of Westinghouse and the New Haven Railroad created the first long distance railroad electric transmission system in the United States. The Cos Cob power plant supplied the system with single phase alternating current at 25 cycles and 11,000 volts. It was a successful trailblazing effort that set the standard for American railroads.
