Re: Amtrak orders 75 new Siemens Diesel locomotives for LD trains

Hauling the dead weight of the diesel power plantisa huge waste--not to mention the fuel. Look at the size/weight of the AEM7v the dual modes. It may make sense if as with NJT and LIRR there are too many light usage branches w/o wires--no way this pencils out on the DC-NY-BOS line. And, straight electrics should have a much better MDBF/service life.
