They did overhaul their DMs, but even if the paperwork were signed to build the overhead today, it would still be about 5-10 years before it's even usable. Knowing the speed of government, the DMs would be far past due for retirement before any new electrification is operational.Also remember Amtrak only comes in at Spuyten Duyvil, so subtract that MP from the mileage. The single track tunnel from NYP to the empire connector also has overhead already (along with the third rail). Not much but every little bit helps :). |
