The North Shore retained the same system throughout its life, and would have had to have rebuilt the overhead to use pantographs

Would it have had to be rebuilt? It was mainline "catenary" style; if it had to be rebuilt for the Yellow Line to use pantographs, then that would answer that.



Cleveland's Shaker line used similar wire with trolley poles on it until the PCCs were replaced with pantograph-using LRVs. The trolleys were using poles while the rapid transit line was using pantographs, on the same wire. (Both at East 55th, taken by Joe Testagrose in 1969.)
