Prendergast, who was running the RR at the time, was from Chicago. Thus: Bilevels and EMDs. The LIRR tried all sorts of arcane excuses for why the Gen II couldn't be bought.The P-32ACDM isn't a perfect unit. But it's a fuckload more reliable than the DE/DMs ever were, and I doubt it's any slower in real life - the DE/DMs fall on their face once they get over 30 or so. |
