   Some are. Not quite sure how this is handled   
   by the power grid.   
      
   - I do know that post Sandy the TA was seriously considering   
   a battery adjunct to the Rockaway line since the power   
   feeds were marginal. This would have let them run the   
   subwyas out there (which are overhead) using a less   
   extensive set of distribution wires.
