I seem to recall that some railway systems use at about 16 2/3 Hz (one third of 
50 Hz) for traction. Historically, some systems used about 33 Hz. I read 
somewhere that on-board power converters on some railway systems work at about 
33 Hz/275 V at full load, rising to 50 Hz/415 V when lightly loaded.

Can someone say whether my recollections are correct, please?
