The Pacific Electric made frequent use of cantenary, even on street running. My understanding is that the pantograph wasn't invented (by a Key System employee, by the way) until after the PE's construction so shifting to pantographs would have required rebuilding the overhead to solve all of the problems discussed elsewhere in this thread.
