The Northeast Corridor where the Acela runs is all electrified. In fact the electrification of the tracks north of New Haven (so an engine switch was no longer needed) was one of the big benefits Acela brought to even the non-Acela trains.

I don't know what it looks like north (basically Portland) and south of the northeast corridor--or the non-coastal routes in New England.
