DM30 and C-3's won't clear the Hudson River tunnels, and the 3rd rail ends right outside the Jersey portals. There is no place to cut over.ALP45 does a full stop for 90 seconds - 2 minutes to cut over. That won't be tolerated in the Harold interlocking area, and there is failure to cut over possibility. Amtrak, LIRR, and NJT simply will not tolerate that. If a westbound DM30 can't cut over in Jamaica, it gets sent to Hunterspoint Avenue. DM30's would have to get Amtrak's version of PTC cab signalling. ALP45 would have to get LIRR's unique speed codes added. Crews would have to qualify on each railroad's equipment None of that is cheap or do-able. |
