Posted by Peter Rosa on Sat Apr 22 11:46:12 2006, in response to Re: The LIRR President Speaks, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Sat Apr 22 11:32:31 2006. He was pretty clear on how embarrassing the DM/DE30 fiasco was (no he didn't use that word of course - haha). When he touched on why there are not many more dual modes running on the diesel branches he pointed to the failure rate of the DM30's as a reason. They were very hesitant to expand to more dual modes because of the fear of mechanical failure, and thus delays as a result.Dual modes are nice but not a necessity. Easy transfers at Jamaica/etc. completely obviate the need for them. Except, of course, for the fact that most riders refuse to change trains no matter how easy the process may be.
