Curious about something....

From railpictures.net.....the Anacostia River bridge sans 132kv lines....

We all know the catenary came down not long after 1981, but when did Conrail de-power the supply lines to the Anacostia substation?
They stayed up till looks like 1996ish judging by the some of the pics.........
Really is a shame all of that PRR infrastructure is gone :(
