And LIRR's majority diesel fleet is not dual mode anyhow. Not to mention that there is not enough room in NYP or ESA to shoehorn any more trains in. My guess is a diet for the piggy M-7s Funny how the lightweight M1s didn't last as long as their forebears, did they? LIRR's ones didn't even reach 30 years old while some of their "piggy" MP54s lasted twice as long. |
