The system consists of sensors fitted on cables throughout the network, both overhead and underground, measuring current and conductor temperature.
Some PoE equipment uses spare wires in cables that link computers back to network hubs and pump power down these.
Hybrids use diesel power where there were no overhead electric cables so could be used across the network without having to change locomotives or crews.
