Re: MTA Metro-North Railroad Penn Station Access - The new station locations and track maps/diagrams

1.5 miles uphill on DC, with those M8 barges, then letting them coast.

25hz on the pan might fuck with the potential xfmrs, and a few other things.

Of, course, this would have been sidestepped if Amtrak went to 60Hz like they told everyone they were gong to. But for agency that can't even get platform lengths right, I'm not expecting them to understand electricity. Supposedly the entire Penn Station area (and PATH), floats on a weird DC bias because of the AC/DC intermix, and the FRA doesn't like it(probably because they can't understand it(, and it makes signalling difficult. Why not use axle counters? Who knows?
