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.I think the LIRR should electrify the Central Branch remnant because it would provide some flexibility in case the the Babylon line closes down or is congested so they won't have to use diesels every time they use it. Plus every time the Main Line is partially shut down, the diesel fleet is stretched to its limit. Also the Greenport line has to be bustituted due to lack of diesel equipment. |
