Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Tue Oct 2 20:49:58 2007, in response to Re: LIRR needs to improve ROW maintenance; new dieseld, posted by AEM-7AC #901 on Tue Oct 2 20:45:39 2007. The LIRR should have begun when they electrified to Huntington. And definitely by the time they went to ROnkonkoma. They bought new M3 cars in that time, which perhaps could have been cars like MN uses on the New Haven, which can run on both. So then you would have the Mainline electrified to Hicksville....and to Huntington, and then later to Ronkonkoma. Eventually, it could be slowly expanded to the other electric lines as they were redoing tracks, third rail, etc anyway all through the 70's, 80's, and 90's...instead of redoing what they had, they could have kept stinging the wires until it's all done..... They wouldn't be done yet even today....but instead of the M7's they had to order anyway, they by this point could have been straight catenary engines and coaches instead.....by this time. After all, they should have begun this in the 70'sm or early 80's when Huntington was being electrified from Hicksville. |
