Re: A new topic for discussion, electrification to Port Jeff and Patchague

By the way, is there any good reason why EMUs can't have, say, a quarter mile (gap crossing) or 15 mile (territory extension) self-powered capacity?

Thomas Edison had a freakin' full line LIRR train run on the battery technology of 1910. A far smaller off-line capability than that would give trains more flexibility, and allow 3rd rail to be cut back a hundred yards away from grade crossings.
