Because the Acela aisles were widened four inches but the tracks E of NH were not, the supposedlymagical tilt mechanisms had to be restricted lest passing trains "kiss" at speed.I don't have an opinion on 25hz v 60hz other than, junking first quality installed base is usually stupid. The onl real answer is that the entire NEC and associated NJ and PA routes which share trackage should be a single standard because, carrying around the otherwise superfluous hardware is a waste of purchase,maintenance, and operating $$. In a similar vein, given that apparently anewer 3rd rail shoe exists which can operate on either NYC or PRR style trackage they should be bought on any new entire MN/CDOT/LIRR fleets to enable interoperation. |
