Re: LIRR to test retrofitting M7s to run off battries

M-7's are electric juice hogs and 67-ton hippotamuses with inferior timetable performance to an M-1, itself little improved from the MP54.

I hope they can find lithium or whatever batteries that can handle them. Maybe install a piece of 3rd rail in Oyster Bay and Port Jeff with a mini-suubstation to recharge when terminating.
