If it's just because the current diesels are unreliable, then buy a more reliable dieselPower and performance. The DM30ACs are putting just 2800hp onto the rail. It may be less as that seems very low for HEP load to me. Either way even the pairs used on trains into NYP would be put to shame by modern electric locomotives. We're not talking about lines with such density of stations that the acceleration is critical. That may be true on the east end of the island, but the trains do venture into the more congested areas at the west end. The ability to clear a given stretch of track for the next train is something that allows more trains to operate on a line without requiring expensive construction. |
