Electrification is expensive, but not "very" if the demand is there. How much did it cost to electrify from White Plains to Southeast and from Hicksville to Ronkonkoma? It was actually way cheaper even in 2021 dollars than one might expect, e.g. in 2021 dollars, the 1987 electrification to Ronkonkoma works out to about $18 million per mile. |
