The PRR/PC/Amtrak employee who gave me the timetables told me that the FL9s arced badly on the LIRR third rail.Truth be told the Fl-9's didn't run to well on third rail either into GCT or Penn. When they ran for Conrail and later Metro-North they frequently ran diesel all the way to GCT. Ten units were rebuilt by ABB/Republic in 1994-95. Seven of these went to Metro-North and they ran pretty well on straight electric. Three units went to the LIRR but I don't think that they did very well there. Maybe some of the LIRR guys have info on this. Larry, RedbirdR33 |
