  Any time power is not being delivered. Doesn’t matter if it’s to the state or a small town.

    That shouldn’t prevent electrified trains. By that logic, my village daily saw power cuts yet an electrified rail track runs cleanly next to it. The power cut happens in the towns but unless the national grid fails, trains should keep working.

    Well since a state has never had a blackout, I guess we’re talking about a small town then. No biggie.
