That is of course going to need to be accounted for. But again, when included in the economies of scale present in electrifying the entire East End the additional cost is fairly minor. They're already going to have to purchase the equipment, this would merely ensure it is somewhat better utilized. Besides, the studies out of Toronto, San Fran, and Denver (apologies, the other two appear to have been removed, I'll see if I can find them) clearly show that with rising fuel prices the commonly held belief that some extreme frequency (4 TPH or more) is required for the electrification to save money simply isn't true. |
