Posted by trainsarefun on Tue Feb 26 21:44:57 2008, in response to Re: LIRR DE/DMS Some reasons why, posted by Jace on Tue Feb 26 16:12:23 2008. The main technical problem with the DM is that EMD didn't design it to the reality of the third rail power supply on the LIRR. Consequently, there's a lot more wear and tear than expected.Can you clarify on this? What's the (bad?) reality of the third rail power supply? Beside which, DM30s are running off Amtrak's third rail supply in the East River Tunnels and at NYP. (Not sure whether that's the same supply as LIRR's, but Amtrak does the maintenance of the third rail for sure, since LIRR complains about Amtrak's maintenance). |
