Conrail didn't think the benefits of electrified freight trains were worth keeping a separate, electric fleet, along with having to make engine changes wherever the wire ended. Diesels can go anywhere (except Manhattan) whether there's wire or not.I do believe Conrail tried to pawn off it's E44's to NJT for use on commuter trains, but the were geared only for a top speed of 60 MPH. |
