Just out of curiousity, what is this "DM" that you speak of? Do you mean the F59PHs and F59PHIs that Metrolink operates? If so then yes the DM30ACs and DE30ACs that LIRR operates are vaguely related to them, but only slightly. I once heard somebody refer to a DE30AC as an F59PHC or something similar. The engine is roughly the same between the locos, an EMD 710 prime mover with either 12 or 16 cylinders, but really that about where the similarities end. The DE30AC uses a radial truck design, AC traction motors, is not fitted with the EMD california emissions kit, and was assembled by a third party in NYS. |
