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

They were thinking of one train to Port Jefferson, which lacks reverse peak service. It would run AM west, PM east.

Montauk has too many single track issues for 57 miles.
Ronkonkoma is too congested and the yard is chock full every night.

Amtrak engines are not readily adaptable to LIRR signal system and ASC. Unique speed pulse codes and signal indications on each railroad that each RR's locos would not recognize.
