Posted by trainsarefun on Tue Feb 26 11:42:28 2008, in response to Re: LIRR DE/DMS Some reasons why, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Tue Feb 26 11:21:38 2008. And the Genesis back in 1996 (when the DE/DM contracts were issued) was a problem child in it's own right.Even the Genesis a decade later from July 2006-July 2007 was only 27k miles for MDBF on MNR. (Source: LIRR Sept. 27, 2007 Assessment, p. 18). That's only 5-10k miles better than the DE30s, and roughly 12-14k miles better than the DM30s. Hardly a smashing success. SO I really can't fault LIRR for aiming higher, especially if the reliability of the Genesis locomotives was even worse a decade ago. |
