I understand that the LIRR runs a over-running third rail rated at 750V.
What is the voltage of the MNRR under-running third rail? Some people have told me 600V, some have said 680V, and others have said 750V. Thanks!

The voltage is 750 V DC.

Thanks Dutch, what year was it upgraded? Was it done for the M1's?
