Posted by trainsarefun on Mon Sep 22 16:59:32 2008, in response to Re: Yankee Stadium and the old IRT 9th Ave. El Connection, posted by poobaa on Sun Sep 21 21:21:08 2008. Only MNR New Haven Line trains will be using M8s; maybe CT DOT/AMTK SLE trains will use them at some later point.NO plans for LIRR to use M8s (which wouldn't fit in either the ESA or FBA tunnels, probably). No LIRR trains use catenary. The plan is for LIRR's next order of EMUs to be M9s, which will either be an order purely for expansion for ESA service increases, or possibly also an order to replace LIRR's M3s, and those would only use the third rail for power supply. The details of that order aren't yet available. |
