I think the real obstacles are the extra time and the need to have locomotives at both ends.MNRR trains do the reversal at New Rochelle every day in the height of the AM and PM rush hours. In the AM, an empty train comes from GCT into the yard track north of New Rochelle, and quickly reverses and becomes a New Rochelle to GCT local. In the PM, New Rochelle locals go into the same yard track, quickly reverse, and deadhead back to GCT for another load. So outside of rush hour the same could be done with Amtrak trains, but it would require locomotives at both ends. And it's just a long detour. |
