We're talking third rail, not wire. It's pointless to electrify the Montauk and Greenport lines, for the sake of a handful of trains a day (and that's a generous assessment for the service to Greenport). Diesels will have to remain, if only to provide emergency service in bad weather that usually KO's the MU's (like a dusting of snow). Providing them with regular work will keep them in operable condition. |
