Just look at how many EMU running interurbans shut down.How many electric lines in NJ and PA were de-electrified or shut down. Amtrak isn't running EMUs anymore. The NYW&B is no more, NH de-electrified some of its lines and there's the case of NJT. Do you really think that there has been more additions than subtractions or they're even? The demand is not the same. Besides, the US stopped exporting (well, making) EMUs and instead started importing them. Out of the industry for twenty years or so, it'll be very hard to take back the business. It won't help that the patents, rights and human power that kept pushing the technologies are now in the hands of those foreign owned companies. |
