The FRA does not aprove of track brakes except for emergency brakes so it would be iffy at best if M-8's would get that.The proposal by CDOT is a lot of dreams and does not correspond with specifications send to manufacturers Its all politicians vs techichians, well see in June when winner is anounced. The Commuter council has all these dreams for energy conservation but also wants redundancy inpropulsion so trains with dead cars have enough power. The issue with 11 Kv 25Hz vs 12.5 Kv 60Hz vs 25 Kv 60 hz will all boil down on what could transformer weigh, same with adjustable third rail shoes, all fluf the politicians want but that will not be realized unless the cars come in severely overweight. |
