Posted by Olog-hai on Tue Feb 21 01:44:49 2012, in response to Re: PHOTOS: Edison, posted by WillD on Tue Feb 21 00:57:22 2012. Electrification isn't a solution if your top speed remains down. Remember, NJT's supposedly doing all that with 100-mph certification on a 125/135-mph railroad (top speed of the MP40PH-3C is 93 mph), and of course shorter trains (lengthwise) than GO Transit. For diesels that have 3,000 fewer horses than even the ALP-44, the MP40PHs are doing impressive work. (Over on RRNET, the NJT clones insist that train length is limited by HEP requirements, with the MLVs; and shorter NJT diesel trains don't have a significant advantage over even the 12-car GO trains.)Further remember that the average speed of NEC Trenton locals used to be 47 mph. |
