There's a bit more to it than that. The high cost of the proposed dual modes relative to that of other locomotives and the cost of electrifying make them a questionable investment before the unprove technology is factorered in. As with all dual modes they will only provide a different market for diesel line passengers, without any savings that electrifcation would provide. Thus this is a risky, expensive, and stopgap solution to a problem which wil not arrise for another 10 or more years when the ARC tunnel is completed. |
