    Modern trains are almost exclusively electric final drive, off the top of my head I can’t think of any exceptions. There are so many different voltages of overhead pantographs and drive motors though, there is almost always some type of converter needed to provide the right voltage to the drive motors.

      Overhead wires aren’t 3-phase, so convertor is required anyway.

          And what operational voltage of such motor?

              1.5KV doesn’t sound like operating voltage of DC motor. Maybe you wanted to say BLDC instead?
