The Airport line in Boston uses both third rail and overhead catenary, from
what I recall. The changeover happens at Mevarick (Sp?).

There is another line, though not rapid transit that uses both third rail
and overhead catenary, and that is the New Haven Line of Metro-North
Commuter Railroad out of Grand Central Station in New York. The changeover
happens just outside Woodlawn Junction on the fly, i.e.while the train is in
motion.
