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

I don’t know, I just find it hard to believe that diesel territory riders really thought that 23 locomotives would be enough to provide all of them with hourly service to Penn, even if the LIRR didn’t have to double end them.

The LIRR could have provided hourly service to Grand Central with those 23 locomotives for at least Patchogue and Port Jefferson riders if they weren’t so short sighted as to make them too tall to fit there. The P32AC-DM and Comets/Shoreliners were proven products operated by two railroads and they decided to go with the DE30AC/DM30AC and C3, unbelievable.
