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

The SW1001 is the only diesel allowed to Brooklyn, and restricted to 10 mph. I believe it is due to weight limit on the viaduct. Since it's fairly easy to drill replacement MU's up in Jamaica if the drill crew has 10 minutes warning, I don't see the advantage in acquiring dual mode EQ that can operate on the viaduct. I think you could gap out a dual mode in Brook 1 as easy as shit, too.
