Electrification should be on a case by case basis. Croton-Harmon/Poughkeepsie is basically flat terrain, aka water level route. Acceleration rates are a non issue on that line. The reliable and comfortable equipment coupled with a superior on time performance results in minimal complaints. Nobody is (was) whining wa wa wa wheres our 3d rail??On the Harlem line, theres a big uphill pull from NWP to Chappaqua & stations were closer together. 3d rail was justified there. Same with the Pt Jefferson line. That branch is the closest to mountain railroading with its hills & closer together stations. That coupled with that crap they use as "reliable and comfortable" commuter equipment there begs for 3d rail to be installed there. |
