Yes; reversible seats will be missed. NJT's got themselves convinced that the passengers "love" the MLVs though.Weight's got nothing to do with horsepower, never mind tractive effort. There aren't very prohibitive grades on the Newark Division or even the Hoboken Division. What will be interesting is seeing AAR couplers on a new EMU type (they're going to need them if they're going to use existing MLV trailer cars) and to see EMUs with automatic variable-tap transformers in operation (they can't avoid installing them now, like when they avoided installing them as well as "long doors" when they rebuilt the Arrow IIIs in the early 1990s) . . . |
