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

Yes, eventually, but buying dual mode rolling stock that can go anywhere in the system would be the economical solution in the meantime, and would allow for similar service increases, like daily and hourly direct service from Port Jefferson to Grand Central.

Yeah, that's the bill of goods everyone was sold in the late 90's, it didn't happen.

The LIRR promised the OB branch service 'just like an electric', and it's still a shitty running time, shitty schedule, and changes at Mineola and or Jamacia. Everyone whines that there's no ridership on the OB branch, but it's because the service blows.
