Another downside to electrifying NJCL, though, to be balanced, is that while it banishes diesels from the line, it might not do too much to decrease running times over the presently unelectrified stretchWhy not? Long Branch becomes a station stop instead of a layover spot, again. The electric motors still out-accelerate the diesels, so average speeds would rise (of course, if they could still run MUs there, the average speeds would get even better). If the improvements to the line are sufficient along with electrification, the 60-mph speed limit could come up to 80 mph to match the rest of the NJCL. |
