I don't think they had other equipment at the time. The Genesis DMs being ordered but not delivered yet. And it gave a certain politician some extra cash in his pocketThe last sentence looks realistic to me. The P32AC-DMs were very much in service at the time when the big NYS hoopla over "125-mph RTL-III" rebuilt Turboliners was being thrown into the media. (What, nobody remembers that? They even painted the Turboliners the same colors as the Acela Express, showing them off in such far-flung locations as Chicago Union Station—of course, now that there's going to be 110-mph Chicago-Detroit trains between Porter IN and Kalamazoo MI, there's still no talk of putting Turboliners back on that route.) I won't even get into the propaganda over the BBD "Jet-Train" Acela power-car lookalike . . . 'There wouldn't have been "more equipment", only replacement equipment' Anti-rail, you've become Since when is stating what politicians would do being "anti-rail"? Silly, you've become. If the RTLs worked out, you would have seen more of them. |
