There is no reason for MNRR and LIRR equipment to be compatable! They are not going to share or pool equipment. There is no place for MNRR in NYP and LIRR is building its own and separate station at GCT that will not even connect with revenue trackage of MNRR. If MNRR wanted to get the Hudson Lion into NYP, they would come down the West Side Tunnel ala AMTK, and they would do it the same way AMTK does it using the same engines. (I *could* forsee MNRR taking over most northbound AMTK routes serving NYS ala NJT and the Clockers!) I do not think that the levels of the two third rail systems, That is the power carring faces of the two systems would work out so that a slice of peanutbutter could contact both loaves of bread. You would have to rebuild one system completely: rails and cars both to make it work, and having done that you might just as well eliminate underrunning alltogether! The Lion has spoken. |
