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

let's see, the current CDot cars carry dead weight of electrical hardware so as to run off two separate supply voltages/frequencies, installing NYC legacy third rail to Albany not likely, so if we wanted toextend the exhaust free zone north, yet more dual voltage equipment would be procured. You are certainly correct that cleaning up the incompatabilityissues in order to both improve service and increase asset utilization is low on the list. That doesn't mean we shouldn't have this on our wishlist.

Out where I live, after four decades of agitation and planning Caltrain is finally putting up catenary to electrify the SF-San Jose route. The extension to the "transit hub" downtown is still being stalled as the bewly built station turns out to be shoddily built.
