If they electrify to Riverhead, they might as well complete the Main Line then, and shift all diesel resources to the Oyster Bay Branch and the Montauk Line east of Babylon, and also electrify the Central Branch remnant.There's only one electrification system where electrifying to Riverhead makes any sense, and the trial balloons floated by myself and other railfans have been shot down due to issues over fleet compatibility and replacement, cost concerns about the electrification in general, and NIMBYs complaining about the method used. |
