Posted by Olog-hai on Sat Mar 31 12:13:23 2012, in response to Re: DMU's for LIRR are funded, posted by Joe V on Sat Mar 31 10:45:03 2012. I don't know what he meant by "(t)he Sprinter is ready to go". Does he mean Siemens Desiro DLRVs such as on San Diego's Sprinter, which operate in a similar arrangement as on NJT's "River Line" (passenger only during the day, noisy freights at night)? (The only other "Sprinter" is going to be Amtrak's ACS-64 replacement for the AEM-7.)Desiros aren't wide or tall enough for US high platforms, even the high-platform versions. They are also not compatible with either AAR or FRA crashworthiness standards from any era. SD Sprinter is currently using folding gangways on their station platforms to accommodate freight operations . . . |
