There isn't a chance in hell you can put catenary in the Park Avenue tunnelsStop being so disagreeable. The locos and the NH MUs make it in some places with less than a foot to spare with pans down I've never seen any photos of that. Nor videos, and there are lots of Youtube videos around. And if there were no dual-voltage equipment, you'd have lower rooflines anyhow. Not to mention your 14' 6"-tall P32AC-DMs and 14' 1119⁄100"-tall FL9s (and you're not going to make me believe that any MU that ever traveled through those tunnels was that close to 15 feet tall). there is no longer any opportunity to increase clearances By a foot or two? Come on. This is the tunnels we're talking about, not the cut/cover segments. There's only that much difference in clearance between those tunnels and the North River Tunnels. |
