Posted by WillD on Wed Feb 27 17:12:45 2008, in response to Re: LIRR DE/DMS Some reasons why, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Wed Feb 27 10:57:10 2008. So the dual mode concept isn't flawed, but the "good" dual modes still fall well short of the MDBF's achieved by 40 year old EMUs or NJT's electrics? Hell, I'm fairly certain NJT's ALPs have more than double the MDBF of the MNRR P32s, and those have a more demanding operating regimen which can include a local run on the M&E followed by a 100mph express on the NEC. Last year the "crappy" M2s somehow managed to achieve an MDBF more than triple the P32's annual 2007 numbers. Maybe MNRR should look into replacing the unreliable P32s with M8s rather than the M2s. |
