They have no plans to do any electrifying on the South Shore, which will eat up 2 train-sets (6 cars).Even with Yaphank electrified, they will still need a set to go to Greenport. (2 cars) There is a 3 car consist to Oyster Bay . They will never electrify that (3 cars). They are a way to restore weekend service to West Hempstead - better than a 6 car M-7 for 40 people per trip. (2 cars). That's 132 cars needed, plus several more needed for shop margin, and that'll be the case for 20 years. |
