The answer is that you don't run diesel trains with higher reliability than EMUs!MDBF P32s 24K M3As 211K M7As 421K M8s 226K Furthermore, Dual mode engines are a single point of failure. A dead M7 can still be moved by the other cars in its train, although a failure is relatively unlikely, as it breaks down less than 1/10th as often! |
